That guidance now says:\n\n- API usage is billed to your Console organization, never to a claude.ai plan.\n\n- Max, Ultra and Team plans include monthly API credits, which you claim on claude.ai.\n\n- After a credit-balance error, you can switch organization with `ant auth login --profile <name>`.\n\nIt used to say only that a claude.ai plan does not cover API usage.\n\n**Why**\n\nClaude now gives more accurate advice about API billing, including that some plans come with credits and how to move to an organization that has them.\n\n- Area: Usage & Limits\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 1\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
