Any way to use this with the "Max" subscription?

[rgaufman]

I have the Max subscription which gives me enough usage, however when I try to use this, I am charged extra for each request. Is there any solution to use this as part of my Max subscription?

Currently I'm using "echo promt | claude --print", but it's a bit clunky.

It looks like it's against Anthropic's ToS: they explicitly delineate billing tying the SDK to pay-per-token, while Max for interactive use.

What you suggest is the common workaround I've been using as well with my vicentereig/dspy.rb workflows, but in my opinion it's a bit of a gray area.

  def claude(prompt)
    `echo #{Shellwords.escape(prompt)} | claude --print`
  end
