86Reading a channel Claude belongs to, whether or not anyone tags it, doesn't draw from the usage balance. When Claude starts a working session on its own, that session bills to the balance under Proactive. To stop Claude from starting work on its own in a channel, turn off the channel's [Respond automatically](/docs/claude-tag/users/when-claude-responds#turn-automatic-replies-on-or-off) setting. DMs aren't included, because they bill to the sender's seat.
