7Claude Max and Team plans include monthly credits for the Claude API. To claim them, you link a [Claude Console](https://platform.claude.com/) organization to your plan. Credits then arrive in that organization each billing cycle (or monthly for annual plans), and you can use them to build and run your own applications and agents. You don’t need to add a payment method to Claude Platform.
