# Use Claude Code with your Pro, Max, or Ultra plan

This article applies to individual consumers using Pro, Max, or Ultra plan subscriptions to access Claude Code. If you’re a member of a Team or Enterprise plan organization, see **[Use Claude Code with your Team or Enterprise plan](https://support.claude.com/en/articles/11845131)**.

## What is Claude Code?

Claude Code is a coding tool that gives you access to Claude models directly in your terminal or supported IDE, allowing you to delegate complex coding tasks while maintaining transparency and control. With Pro, Max, and Ultra plans, you now have access to both Claude on the web, desktop, and mobile apps and Claude Code in your terminal with one unified subscription.

### Why use Claude and Claude Code?

Use two powerful AI products in one simple subscription.

- Use Claude for writing, research, analysis, and more—at work and at home.

- Use Claude Code for your terminal-based coding workflows.

---

## How to connect Claude Code to your Pro, Max, or Ultra plan

1. **Ensure you have an active Pro, Max, or Ultra plan subscription**

- If you're not already subscribed, upgrade at **[claude.ai/upgrade](https://claude.ai/upgrade)**

2. **Install Claude Code**

- Visit the **[Claude Code page in our Claude Docs](https://code.claude.com/docs/en/quickstart#step-1-install-claude-code)** to download and install Claude Code.

- Follow the installation instructions for your operating system.

3. **Authenticate with your Claude credentials**

- When prompted during setup or first use, log in with the same credentials you use for Claude.

- This will connect your Pro, Max, or Ultra plan subscription to Claude Code.

- If you're already logged in to Claude Code via Claude Console PAYG, run /login from within Claude Code to switch to your subscription plan.

### Having trouble using your Pro, Max, or Ultra plan to access Claude Code?

If you're not seeing the option to authenticate with your preferred account, follow these steps to update Claude Code:

1. Log out of your active session completely using the /logout command.

2. Run claude update.

3. Restart your terminal completely for the change to take effect.

4. Run claude and select the correct account to use Claude Code.

**Important:** If you have an ANTHROPIC_API_KEY environment variable set on your system, Claude Code will use this API key for authentication instead of your Claude subscription (Pro, Max, Ultra, Team, or Enterprise plans), resulting in API usage charges rather than using your subscription's included usage. See this article for more information: **[Managing API key environment variables in Claude Code](https://support.claude.com/en/articles/12304248-managing-api-key-environment-variables-in-claude-code).**

## Use Claude Code in your IDE

Your Pro, Max, or Ultra plan also covers Claude Code in supported IDEs, including VS Code, Cursor and other VS Code forks, and JetBrains IDEs like IntelliJ and PyCharm. Log in with the same Claude credentials you use in the terminal. IDE usage counts toward the same usage limits shared across Claude and Claude Code.

To install and set up the extension for your IDE, see **[Platforms and integrations](https://code.claude.com/docs/en/platforms)** in our Claude Code Docs.

---

## What happens when you hit usage limits

Pro and Max plans have a five-hour session limit and a weekly limit. Ultra plans have a weekly limit, and verified Ultra accounts don't have a five-hour session limit. Learn more.

Max and Ultra plans also have a separate weekly limit for Fable. These limits are shared across Claude and Claude Code, meaning all activity in both tools counts against the same limits. To help you monitor your usage, you’ll see warning messages as you approach any limit.

If you reach your five-hour session limit while Claude Code is partway through a response, it may keep working briefly so it can finish the step in progress instead of stopping mid-step. While this happens, you’ll see “Usage limit reached · wrapping up” in Claude Code. This wrap-up allowance is small and capped, and the usage counts toward your weekly limit. It applies only to a response that’s already in progress, not to a new message you send after reaching your limit.

On the Pro plan, it applies up to once per weekly usage period. On the Max plan, it can apply each time you reach a five-hour session limit, within your weekly limit. Verified Ultra accounts don't have a five-hour limit, so the wrap-up allowance doesn't apply. If your Ultra account has a temporary limit, the wrap-up allowance works the same way as on the Max plan until the limit is removed.

It’s rolling out gradually, so it may not be available on your account yet. Learn more about the **[Claude Code wrap-up allowance](https://support.claude.com/en/articles/17040437)**.

When you reach your usage limits, you can select from a few options based on your needs:

### Pro plan users

- Consider upgrading to the Max plan if you consistently hit limits and need more capacity for larger repositories.

- **[Enable usage credits](https://support.claude.com/en/articles/12429409-)** to keep using Claude with your Pro plan after you reach your five-hour session limit or your weekly limit.

- Switch to a Claude Console account and **[purchase API usage credits](https://support.claude.com/en/articles/8977456-how-do-i-pay-for-my-claude-api-usage)** for intensive coding sprints.

- Wait until your usage limits reset.

### Max plan users

- Consider upgrading to the Ultra plan if you consistently hit limits.

- **[Enable usage credits](https://support.claude.com/en/articles/12429409-)** to keep using Claude with your Max plan after you reach your five-hour session limit, your general weekly limit, or your separate weekly limit for Fable.

- Switch to a Claude Console account and **[purchase API usage credits](https://support.claude.com/en/articles/8977456-how-do-i-pay-for-my-claude-api-usage)** for intensive coding sprints.

- Monthly API credits included with the Max plan can’t be used in Claude Code or the Claude apps, including for usage credits. Learn more about **[monthly API credits for Max, Ultra, and Team plans](https://support.claude.com/en/articles/17154008)**.

- Wait until your usage limits reset.

### Ultra plan users

- Enable usage credits to keep using Claude with your Ultra plan after you reach your general weekly limit, or your separate weekly limit for Fable.

- Switch to a Claude Console account and **[purchase API usage credits](https://support.claude.com/en/articles/8977456-how-do-i-pay-for-my-claude-api-usage)** for intensive coding sprints.

- Monthly API credits included with the Ultra plan can’t be used in Claude Code or the Claude apps, including for usage credits. Learn more about **[monthly API credits for Max, Ultra, and Team plans](https://support.claude.com/en/articles/17154008)**.

- Wait until your usage limits reset.

For more details on efficient usage, refer to our **[Usage limit best practices](https://support.claude.com/en/articles/9797557-usage-limit-best-practices)**.

## Claude Code billing

### Understanding two distinct systems

It's important to recognize these are separate systems:

- **Claude Code:** Presents options for continuing usage through API credits.

- **Claude Console / Claude API:** Contains optional auto-reload settings for API credit management where your terminal is located.

### Choosing to use API credits

If you want to use API credits through Claude Code:

- Usage will be billed at **[standard API rates](https://claude.com/pricing#api)** (distinct from Pro/Max/Ultra plan pricing).

- If auto-reload is enabled in your Console account, additional credits will be automatically added when your balance runs low.

### Staying within your plan

To maintain usage strictly within your Pro, Max, or Ultra plan allocation:

- Decline the API credit option when presented.

- Allow your usage period to reset before continuing to use Claude Code.

- Monitor your remaining allocation using the /status command.

### Opting out of API credits for Claude Code

If you prefer to prevent the API credit option from appearing entirely:

- Run claude logout in your terminal.

- Run claude login and authenticate using only your Pro, Max, or Ultra plan credentials.

- Avoid adding any Claude Console credentials during the login process.

This ensures Claude Code will only use your plan allocation and you won't be prompted to use API credits when you reach your limits.

### Managing auto-reload settings

Auto-reload functionality is managed within your Claude Console account, not through Claude Code:

- Review your **[Console Billing settings](https://platform.claude.com/settings/billing)** to check auto-reload status.

- Adjust these settings in the Console if you prefer to avoid automatic credit purchases.

- Remember, auto-reload only applies when you've chosen to use API credits.

## Summary

- Claude Code maintains strict user control over billing decisions.

- Auto-reload is an independent Claude Console feature.

- To maintain your Pro, Max, or Ultra plan budget, simply decline API credit options when offered.
