No Opencode = No Claude Subscription
I strongly support this request.
Blocking Claude Max users from using OpenCode is a real regression in developer experience. OpenCode is currently one of the most practical and well-designed agent-based coding tools available, and the inability to use it with a paid Max plan is a serious limitation.
As a developer who actively relies on OpenCode-style workflows (agents, command routing, model specialization), this issue directly impacts productivity and value perception of the Max plan. If other models and providers continue to offer better tooling integration, it becomes very difficult to justify staying on a plan that cannot interoperate with best-in-class tools.
This is not just a feature request — it affects retention. Please consider prioritizing proper OpenCode integration and authentication support for Max plans.
Going to subscribe to OpenCode Black probably because this is not a good look
Claude Code not Opensource = Using Opencode = Getting Blocked = Switching Model :)
+1 for this request.
Blocking Max plan users from using Opencode feels unnecessarily restrictive, especially when the tooling provides significant productivity benefits.
While I appreciate the quality of Claude Code, I find OpenCode most of the time more useful for my use cases.
I would appreciate if we could use our Max plans with OpenCode, thanks!

By blocking OpenCode, Anthropic you are forcing my company and me to reevaluate our investment and reliance on Claude and other Anthropic products.

Just canceled my Max subscription.

This is like getting pulled over every time you go 1mph over the speed limit: unreasonable.
I'm switching to codex because of this right now
Anthropic, don't alienate customers.
The absurdity here is not only how this is done, but how this wasn't communicated to so many end-users who rely on Anthropic models. Vendor locking is such slap in the face to the OSS community. Big L.
China just won
What difference does it make to Anthropic if we're using their CLI or another CLI?
We're still paying Anthropic and still constrained by the usage limits.
From a business perspective, that makes very little sense to me. I'm missing the point.
No Opencode = No Claude Subscription
Same here, I use Claude solely because Opencode is a great tool. I absolutely don't want to use Claude Code (closed source), so if this is intended to block its use, I will unsubscribe.
Already downgraded, will cancel it once i get opencode black. I'd rather use opencode with alternative models than using claude code.

vendor lockin in the year of our lord 2026 lmao
@claude Fix this, please
Opencode has a vastly superior interface and feature set. I may have to switch to Gemini if I can't use my anthropic subscription with it.
No Opencode = No Claude Subscription
Will cancel my max plan if it continues to be blocked in opencode.
Will definitely cancel and not continue max subscription if not allowed to run it in opencode
I should be able to use my tokens the way I want. 2 weeks ago you were increasing the rate limits, now you are blocking usage.
Claude models are build thanks to open source code out there, blocking OpenCode in return is a clear lack of gratitude towards the open source community.
If you are not profitable, reduce the tokens limit, raise your prices, make smaller models, but do not punch in the face the people paying you hundreds of $ every month.
@claude Please opensource yourself
I struggle to understand the logic behind this move - all the recent goodwill you guys built up via Opus 4.5 and Claude Code has gone up in smoke with many people, myself included. I hope this is recognized as a misstep and fixed soon, but until then I'll be cancelling my subscription and moving to alternative models as well.
Same here opencode or no claude subscription, it's really anti-developer to try to force tools on us!
It's like if you could only use an Oracle IDE to dev in Java
just canceled subscription. i guess the only way to punish is with $
Where is my popcorn
No Opencode = No Claude Subscription
Agree
Don't want to increase noise in the debate, or just add unecessary fuel to the discussion.
But yes
OpenCode, the subagents, command and skill routing, and the entire agent tool flow is absolutely amazing in Opencode and just vastly improves the models.
I would happily pay 500 USD/month, or even 1000 USD/month instead of 200 USD for the 20x max plan to access the models for open source tools like Opencode, even at half or more of the current rate limits.
No, I am not joking.
Vendor-locking does not help, when an entire community (like opencode) can bring benefits and new ideas to the table for claude back.
Good job Anthropic! Lost any remaining goodwill you had in the OSS community.
Truly an amazing way to alienate your target audience!
No Opencode = No Claude Subscription
Can't you already, using the API? It's designed to allow you to pay more.
Don't force tooling on the people. Just make yours better if you can.........
To the Anthropic team,
I am writing this as a dedicated user and a developer who wants to build my future on your platform. I pay for the Max plan because I believe in the quality of your models and I want to use them extensively.
However, the recent blocking of third-party tools (like OpenCode) from utilizing the Max plan feels like a punishment for being a power user.
Please reconsider this approach. Here is why this hurts us (and ultimately you):
My Workflow is My Choice: As developers, our terminal environment, our shortcuts, and our toolchains are personal and highly tuned. When you force me to use claude-code by blocking the API/Auth for other tools, you aren't "winning" a user; you are breaking a workflow. I shouldn't have to choose between the model I love (Claude) and the interface that makes me productive.
The "Max Plan" Should Be About Compute, Not Interface: I am paying $200/month for the intelligence and the capability of Claude. Whether I consume those tokens via your official CLI or a community-built tool that fits my specific needs shouldn't matter. If the concern is abuse, please implement fair rate limits or usage caps—don't ban the tools themselves.
Lock-in Breeds Resentment: Historically, developer tools that try to force lock-in eventually lose to open ecosystems. If I can't use Claude with my preferred tools, I am forced to look at competitors (like OpenAI or open-source models) that do allow me to bring my own interface. I don't want to switch, but if my workflow is broken, I won't have a choice.
Compete on Quality, Not Restrictions: If claude-code is the best tool, we will use it because it's the best, not because it's the only one allowed. Let the community innovate. If OpenCode or another tool builds a feature you don't have, that’s a signal for you to improve, not a reason to shut them out.
You have built arguably the best coding model in the world. Please don't handicap it by trapping it inside a single CLI. Trust your developers, give us the API access we are paying for, and let us build amazing things with the tools we choose.
Let us work with you, not despite you.
No Opencode = No Claude Subscription
No Opencode = No Claude Subscription
and twitter hashtag was born #noopencodenoclaudesubscription
No open code = no subscription
Max plan customer here. Even loving the Anthropic models as much as I do, if this situation is not sorted out the right way soon - I'm cancelling and switching to other inference provider. This was waaaaaay too much of a anti-consumer move.
Opencode is miles better than Claude Code, if i cant use my Claude Max plan with it, I will just use their new OpenCode Black plan instead or switch to a different provider.
I can, and do
But for automation like n8n and the like
But for coding, I bought the code plan for a reason
They are a bit different
API is "you pay for what you use", and you get exactly the model, context, quantization, and priority you pay for per token.
While plan gives you access to a certain amount, but without the same promises of quantization, or caching/buffering of responses and deduplicating them across the service, etc IIRC (though not an expert)
Unfortunate but does mean I've cancelled my Max subscription. Anthropic will probably still be getting my ££, but just routed through opencode zen now lol.
Just couldn't do it with the claude code interface - I hadn't realised how much better opencode was until today!
I have to agree with this - this behavior is quite concerning considering Antropic's reputation. Being the leaders in dev models and pretty much leading many AI-related standards (MCPs, skills...) - which encourages community enhancements and collaboration in making AI tools better for everyone, locking users to claude code CLI makes no sense... If anything, they should be encouraged, considering it creates an indirect revenue channel anyways. I find this situation very concerning and will reconsider my subscription. Incredible really, what an unprofessional way of running a business, no communication, whys, nothing.
The reason people use Claude code is not for "Claude Code" itself, but for the underlying foundation model (Opus 4.5) and the Claude max plan. **If Anthropic wants to block any other third-party client, improve Claude Code first.** Anthropic's first-party TUI client is as intrusive and annoying as Anysphere's cursor devcontainer/WSL extensions, which aggressively override VSCode's extension.
No Opencode = No Claude Subscription
This right here explains this move. At the end of the day, they'll still get our money, just more of it as nobody can subsidize these many tokens for $200pm
what kills me is that my token usage went DOWN when I started using opencode vs claude code. so anthropic was coming out ahead based on my usage. opencode was just more efficient in the usage of tokens, which should lower the cost for anthropic. fewer tokens used at the same monthly price.
fr bro, i tried cc and yea it's not good...
I'm a happy Max plan user, but it's very limiting to have to use it through subpar tooling. If this feature is not implemented I will be forced to switch to some competitor offerings that are supported in OpenCode such as Codex.
Already cancelled my $200 Max subscription, but ALSO removed Claude api from consideration for use in our platform, which would generate hundreds of times as much revenue for Anthropic. They showed their true colors, sayonara!
@ThariqS @wolffiex
You guys have infinite tokens but cant beat a free one.
Canceled Max plan, after trying OpenCode, now can't use Claude Code
As a Max5 user who was contemplating cancelling for the past couple of months, to deciding to bump up to Max20 last week to cancelling altogether today. Well done Anthropic.
I canceled Claude Pro subscription today. I will hapily return if Anthropic reverses the block, in the meantime I'm researching other models.

No Opencode = bye bye from me too.
Return support for opencode
Blocking opencode means I will switch to other models rather than ever use Claude Code... the only reason I paid for the Claude Max plan was to use Claude through opencode, not your CLI.
This seems unnecessarily petty. I'm unsure why they made this move.
FK YOU ANTHROPIC JUST CANCELLED MY MAX SUBSCRIPTION WHAT A DICK MOVE
this goes beyond OpenCode. Anthropic is blocking multiple tools built on top of Claude, and the rationale is unclear. If the goal is to push users toward Claude Code, this is a short-sighted decision that risks alienating a significant portion of the ecosystem, especially users who have no interest in the TUI and depend on these tools for entirely different workflows
No Opencode = No Claude Subscription
The war just began
https://x.com/thdxr/status/2009618812631503085
UGH!!! just when i started to really get in to it. Seems like using the model through 3rd party (like github copilot) is still working fine.
I bet they have competitor's mole in their crew who advices such dick moves. :D
I am wondering if someone from Anthropic can respond to this? It seems to be affecting a lot of users. Was this an intentional decision? If so, I would like to ask Anthropic to be open about this decision.
What next? Will Microsoft buy you? Skype 2.0?
Isn't doing this similar to DDoSing? You've just distributed a denial of service to all customers without warning. Could've done a terminal warning for a week but instead just cut the line cold turkey.
Nice move, Anthropic. Cancelling my Max subscription and moving over to OpenCode Zen.
Here someone else who has ben blocked for using opencode. I think it's a good time to start to test other models....
Cancelled my Pro subscription due to no opencode support / rent seeking behavior
Nice move, Anthropic. Cancelling my Max subscription and moving over to OpenCode Zen. =)
Cancelling my subscription here asap, what a stupid move from Anthropic
No OpenCode = No Claude subscription
@ThariqS
Waiting patiently for opencode black to drop
No OpenCode = No Claude subscription, my subscription is canceled like many others I hope anthropic changes its mind.
I just tried Claude Code for the first time (i bought the Claude Max plan to use with OpenCode, I've never used CC before) and it is unusable for me. No choice but to cancel my plan.
Can anyone recommend a different model that would replace the Claude 5x max plan?
Gemini 3 Flash is good
No OpenCode = No Claude subscription
The problem with using Google Models is that they explicitly show in their TOS that they ARE using your input / data to improve their models. It is a NO GO for me.
China already won 2025 in terms of open source models. In 2026 it's gonna overtake the rest of the market. GLM 4.7 is already somewhat close to Opus in terms of quality and is like 7 times cheaper? Good luck in 2026 with your bs policies anthropic.
No OpenCode = No Claude subscription
@muuufc
Take a look at OpenCode Zen. Grab bag of models to use and still have the freedom to use OpenCode 😄
I'm on the AI policy committee at work. Corporate policy is to only let us use approved model providers. If we can't use our preferred tools with Anthropic, I'll need to advocate that our organization approve Anthropic competitors.
No Opencode = No Claude Subscription
Cancelled my claude subscription. Moved to codex (temporarily) and glm 4.7 coding plan. Way to go anthropic.
looks like open source models from china will win if anthropic and chatgpt dont allow people to use their own tooling.
People have paid for the plan and are confined to the same limits everyone is.
So not sure what is going on with this decision. Well dont care anymore. i have switched.
Its a shame though, claude opus and sonnet are really good models.
Cancelled today, I'm out!
No OpenCode = No Claude Max subscription.
Learn from history, Anthropic: https://www.samba.org/ftp/tridge/misc/french_cafe.txt
I cancelled Claude Code in the past for the 5 years blurry change of terms & conditions, I think I'll have to do this again. I understand your position as a company. Hope you'll understand our reaction as users.
No OpenCode = No Claude Max subscription.
One of the possible hack is to pass though Github Copilot
Just cancelled Max.
No OpenCode = No Claude subscription.
just started getting used to my max subscription :(
Yeah, this is gross. Byeeeeee.
Cancelled my private subscription, but for my pro subscription I just took a Max x20 yesterday.
I'm so disappointed :(
Knowing Anthropic and Claude, it may just be a bug ?
I can't believe they blocked a competitor of their Claude Code (which is ok tier) without any warning or anything, this does not make sense.
Please allow opencode, it's the best workflow
They for sure are deliberately blocking it. Opencode had released a fix and then that was blocked again.
Cancelled my Max subscription.
I just canceled my max subscription as well
Which competitor are you switching to?
OpenCode
What factors influenced your decision to switch to a competitor?
I am using OpenCode. You do not seem to support it anymore. What I am most disappointed about is that you do not even reply to the related github issue. At least be open about your decisions!
https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/17118
Any additional feedback?
I just purchased the max plan because I am very enthusiastic about the power of LLM's and in particular Claude Code, but this way of acting, that impacts a lot of users, I find completely unacceptable, because you did not give any prior notice about this, and then you don't even reply to the situation.
I hope you can reconsider your communication strategy, customer support, and also compatibility with open-source tools like OpenCode.
I get this is annoying and all but do you lot even know what your talking about?
Open code implementation was hacky and not supported by anthropic as well as in no way shape or form provided by anthropic. There is a reason they have CC closed source.
Someone at open code has reverse engineered the tool and network calls to get it working as well as spoofed the you are Claude message to bypass that’s why it worked initially. I know because I built a similar proxy to do it and provided it on GitHub but always stated in the disclaimer that this is not supported by Anthropic or associated.
I hope anthropic give us API keys tied to our subs and in that way we can use our limits absolutely anywhere without hacky solutions but I’d also say this type of whining with inaccurate information is not helping.
They did not remove support for something they didn’t initially support, this was done unofficially by open code and was bound to break whether on purpose or by accident.
Max cancelled. I tried Claude Code, but it is just not up to OpenCode's standard.
I don't understand the decision to block it. Anthropic makes its money by selling access to its models, does it not?
Ah, okay, I was not aware of that. Thanks for the extra background.
In any case I would still appreciate an official reply to this from Anthropic, because it does affect a lot of users, that is just a fact.
For anyone switching to OpenCode and GPT-5.2 please beware that the ChatGPT subscription and the access to OpenAI models are two different payments! To be able to use the API keys from https://platform.openai.com/api-keys you need to top-up on https://platform.openai.com/settings/organization/billing/overview. This will be common knowledge to many people, but as someone who's been only using Claude Code and Codex in the past, not API based model access, I wasn't aware of this.
@TomasHubelbauer just use https://github.com/numman-ali/opencode-openai-codex-auth
Sure, I agree it's an unofficial tool and all and we can't expect it to work forever without some hacks and workarounds, or at all for that matter. Personally, I'm not upset about that. That's just how projects like this work.
Anthropic has a history of lacking communication, though. Everything about this seems to hint that this is a deliberate action without deliberate communication. That's my issue.
+1
But again we don't know if it was done intentionally or not so to make an assumption is ridiculous.
The only fact here is that currently open code broke the terms of service of Claude code and the subscription service as well as all the users complaining it no longer works.
That is truly the only fact here.
Again I am not on Anthropic side because I wish we could have API access with our sub since it's possible as evident by these workarounds however we must use facts in the arguments otherwise we have no leg to stand on.
The argument now needs to be that all sub users should be allowed to generate api keys attached to their sub and be allowed to call the API with said keys since we have limits anyway I don't see the problem.
That's the argument
yeah we know no need to shill for Anthropic. Mate they have stolen everything their model is based on now they dont even wanna let us use opensource tools to use their models. And its not like we want it for free we are still paying 200 dollars a month...
But they don't need to comment, most people are lucky to not have been banned because doing this was breaking the terms of service. See the response to the other comment RE the argument we should be making rather than everyone crying.
WE SHOULD HAVE ACCESS TO API KEYS TIED TO OUR SUBS THATS THE REAL ARGUMENT HERE
WAKE UP ANTHROPIC, WE ALL HAVE LIMITS SO WHATS THE PROBLEM WIH THIS???
Where do I shill for anthropic? Did you even read my whole comment or do you have the comprehension of a toddler?
I just cancelled personally.
When given the choice between an Anthropic subscription and OpenCode, I'd rather easily pick OpenCode.
Many other ways to get a frontier model for planning purposes, including Anthropic ones. Implementation I can just leave to a capable Sonnet 4.5 tier OSS model.
I don't think Anthropic understands the harm they're causing by preventing Claude MAX subscription from working in OpenCode.
My use-case is using OpenCode with Claude for legal and advocacy work. I am working to enforce the laws that protect disabled Medicaid recipients, which when enforced will exert a potent systems-wide regulatory effect leading to transformative reform throughout the entire healthcare system (defendthedisabled.org).
If Anthropic truly wants AI to help improve the world, it's use-cases like mine they should be helping.
OpenCode is necessary for my work, as it allows me to develop features and fixes for non-coding workflows specific to my use-case needs. It lets me develop tools and frameworks that enable people to use AI to defend the rights of the disabled and vulnerable. My agentic workflow requires using multiple AI models; it breaks when limited to only Anthropic and breaks when Anthropic models are absent.
NO ONE is helping disabled Medicaid recipients with these issues. AI is the first time, the only time in the past ten years I have had meaningful help. The first time I had any hope that I could enforce the laws so that I could get the rehabilitative care I'm entitled. That I can stop the years of physical and psychological torture I have been, am being, subjected to. That finally, people with disabilities will have human rights and those that violate them get held to account.
I am not a person prone to exaggeration. I am one who is hyper rational and prone to understatement as I need substantive data to form the conclusive opinions necessary to make strong statements.
OpenCode with Claude was the first time I saw a solution to my needs. It lets me for build and use agentic workflows that can effectively connect to my data and help me build both my case and the tools I need (e.g. data systems, scripts, apps). I found an AI harness that could help me radically improve millions of lives and the whole of society. I can fix Medicaid and improve the healthcare system. Two safety nets people will desperately need to work as AI creates job loss and economic turmoil.
Whatever the rationale is that Anthropic has to prevent Claude MAX from working seamlessly with OpenCode, it can't be worth sabotaging my efforts to defend the disabled.
I ask Anthropic do more than permit Claude MAX to be functional in OpenCode. I ask Anthropic to actively support the OpenCode project and help Defend The Disabled.
Opencode was a reason I went back to Claude after using Codex for past few months. If the decision is not reverted then I'll probably go back.
This might be related: https://github.com/charmbracelet/crush/pull/1783.
https://github.com/charmbracelet/crush/pull/1783#issue-3789387324
My point is they're a company offering a product. They don't need to comment in just the same way that we don't need to pay. There's 100 other companies doing the same thing, I'll just go with them. No "crying" or "whining" necessary.
It wasn't that clear. Last week I asked Claude itself to tell me if using OpenCode is or is not against ToS.
It STRUGGLED and told me "not sure".
Any recommendations for other models with OpenCode? Anyone work with GLM 4.7?
https://docs.z.ai/devpack/tool/claude
Cancelled my max subscription, switching to codex. Sam Altman’s gonna love this move 😆
Luckily its very easy mix and match modes in OpenCode
They clearly state that their service (max / pro plan) should only be used with their clients. I suspect your issue was simply hallucination of some kind.
As an additional note here is the terms.
What “Services” your subscription is for (Claude’s own apps/sites)
“...to use Claude.ai, Claude Pro, and other products and services … along with any associated apps, software, and websites (together, our ‘Services’).”
https://www.anthropic.com/legal/consumer-terms
Anthropic is losing credibility by making moves like these.
Agreed, im only commenting on these posts because I want people to change their argument from lies to something more relevant like requesting API access with our sub, that way we can use our sub with any tool without custom / hacky implementations
Ok, so they're "legally" pushing thousands of customers towards competitors. Legal move, agreed. Futur will tell if it was a smart one.....
Cancelling claude code max and I don't even use opencode. Extremely anti-consumer move. Credibility as a good faith actor sunk over night.
That would be the smart move to do to indeed!
Its already proven to work with these hacky implementations so the only thing stopping anthropic from doing it even with plan limits is themselves tbh. This is what we should be arguing. I WANT API KEYS FOR SUB USERS TIED TO THEIR SUB ACCOUNTS OTHERWISE IM CANCELLING
Yes it was always against ToS. Regardless... Cancelled my max plan today, opencode is more valuable than access to opus. Hopefully we'll get more OpenCode Black soon. And something tells me it'll be sold out very quickly again.
@shawnyeager You should probably drop the "platform:linux" tag as it affects every OS and specify in the title that something was broken starting today.
Agreed. Unfortunately, those are auto-assigned, and I cannot edit.
I'm among the canceled accounts. Was on Max since June of this year, been a software engineer for 20 years. They could have had another decade of my payments and support, but not now.
No Opencode = No Claude Subscription
No Opencode = No Claude Subscription
@timmushen minimax 2.1 is good. Or get a chutes.ai subscription and use any open source model with opencode.
I'm on the same train here. I love Claude and using Claude. Opus has completely changed the way I work, and using Opencode has actually been the reason I upgraded my Claude Subscription, to use it more. I know Anthropic is a company that has used customer feedback really well in the past, and I hope they'll continue this trend by allowing us to use opencode.
No wonder there are rumours that opencode is going to have its own subscription plans, maybe anthropic want us to subscribe to that instead? 🤔
I will also be cancelling my Claude Max plan if I cannot use OpenCode.
fyi, referencing ToS as a defense mechanism is an invalid argument, because the asinine ToS written by the same team maintaining the repo is a root cause of the bug.
Can someone post good models to use with OpenCode? I'm installing it right now.
Not only have you ruined most of our tooling, but you also decided to downgrade everyone that uses even
claudeto Opus 4.1.And it's not the first time that this has happened (downgrading models) for PAYING USERS.
This was my last month as a paying subscriber. Will put my money elsewhere (me an hopefully thousands of others)

what are you on about?
As a Claude Max user that only uses Claude Code VS Studio Code extension this is wildly anti-consumer and demotes innovation as it eliminates competition that drives improvements. Disappointing to say the least.
I am not going to come here and beg a corporation to _let_ me use their service in the way that I paid to use it for. While Sonnet is a superb model that has worked wonderfully within my workflow, it is not more crucial for my tasks than the workflow itself. Thankfully, there are plenty of competitors in the market and your support chatbot made cancelling and requesting a refund a breeze. May you reap what you are sowing.
Long time supporter of Anthropic, but I cant see this as a win for anybody other than shareholders. Suppose its time I cancel my subscription and move on to the many other providers and models available. Anthropic quickly becoming just like the rest of them. Good luck with that...
No OpenCode = No Claude subscription.
This Makes No Business Sense whatsoever Locking Developers (esp Power Users) into an ecosystem. What do you get or save by controlling what frontend User uses.
While I really like your model this move is very distasteful enough to cancel Subscription and look for other Models if company treats their own paying users like this.
No OpenCode = No Claude Subscription
"Acquire them"
You obviously have no idea what you are talking about. The best part of Opencode is it being OPEN and usable with any model. Purchasing OC and locking it into Claude models would be a slight upgrade to the CC CLI.
It sucks, but its a very obvious reason on why Anthropic did this.
No Opencode = No Claude Subscription
I just cancelled my Claude Max subscription. Removing the ability to use my subscription in OpenCode negates any value proposition you had.
P.S. I never could have imagined being SO HAPPY, eager even, to pay 200$ a month for anything, but Opus 4.5 on tap in OpenCode allowed me to do things I never thought possible. Please reconsider this policy change. I will come running back into your arms and we can forget this ever happened. <3
Cancelled until this gets resolved 😞
Have the same problem with Pro plan.
thankgod, i thought my employeer cancelled my membershiplol
ya'll gotta fix this or ima have to tell them they're getting screwed.
Was about to upgrade a 2nd Max 20X account. This happened just in time for me to cancel the first instead. I hope the leadership has a change of heart rather than trash and burn the community (who's already paying).
Dear Anthropic,
The community has already done analysis of Claude Code CLI. Every header, every request body field, every tool name casing difference, we can match it again and again.
Here's the reality: people will keep reverse engineering. Every time you add a new validation check, someone will capture the traffic, diff it, and patch around it within hours. This is a losing game.
Your options:
The OAuth token is in
~/.config/claude/auth.json. The endpoints are known. The headers are documented. The only question is: do you want to keep fighting your own paying customers?We're not asking for free access. We're paying $200/month and just want to use the tools we prefer.
No OpenCode, No Claude Subscription
Your Move, Anthropic.
I upgraded to Claude Max 200$ just to use it with OpenCode. I quess it's a sign to cancel subscription, I have no use for it outside of OpenCode. Well done Anthropic!
Also cancelled my subscription.
I am using Enterprise, but I have been countermeasured. I am sad even though it is Enterprise...
maybe help this (DYOR)
https://github.com/anomalyco/opencode-anthropic-auth/issues/12
Insta cancelled
No Opencode = No Claude Subscription
Suggestion:
Consider allowing $20 and $100 subscriptions to continue working with 3rd-party tools (e.g. OpenCode), while restricting the $200 plan from being used via such tools (i.e. only Claude Code allowed).
Lower tiers are commonly used by indie developers who rely on token-saving tooling and alternative UIs. Cutting that access risks unnecessary churn and loss of grassroots adoption.
The $200 tier, on the other hand, seems targeted at power users juggling multiple projects, and limiting it to direct Claude Code usage preserves Anthropic’s control and data quality (services improvement data) without penalizing small everyday users.
If your software is so mediocre that vendor lock is the only way to get people to use it, your teams are failing.
The easy alternative is to simply make CC the best option to retain users.
Anti-competitive behavior is worse for everyone & stifles innovation.
Cancelled Claude Code Max 20x and subscribed to OpenCode Zen instead, because of this.
I would be the loudest person in case opencode gets acquired, that would be the worst.
Opencode is the reason I am, along with many other developers, optimistic about Coding with AI.
You or any other monopoly-aiming company cannot take that from us.
CANCELLING MY SUBSCRIPTION TODAY.
Cancelling subscription and switching to other models if only claude code can be used with the Anthropic models.
Agreed
As I said earlier: https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/17118#issuecomment-3729279155
If this is an effort to reduce the spend from Anthropic, by limiting third party innovative usage (such as OpenCode), I can agree to paying more per month on the highest tier, or getting reduced rate limits or speed if really necessary
Tried just now last hour to go test Claude Code, and... I just can't
It's a mess, and I can't even enter and see what the subagents are doing, nor barely control anything.
It just spins in a loop, comes up with a plan, I tell it it is the wrong plan with clear details, exact steps, files, and history of the codebase, it spins, and comes up with the same plan.
And that is Opus 4.5
As @level55 said, I agree
If the issue is that us powerusers on the $200 plan cost too much, and it is too permissive, introduce a fourth for $500 for us non-indie powerusers.
OpenCode is really a vital cornerstone for many powerful workflows of mine, and claude code simply can't come close to matching it.
Don't punish indies trying it out if powerusers on the 200 plan use too much and build on their workflows. Either allow innovation from the OSS community, or introduce more tiers if the usage is too steep to handle.
Cutting the tier out (effectively) does no good.
---
And no, API is not the answer
API is for non-coding usage, automated flows (like n8n), and things which scale beyond one computer and a local repo.
The API has different promises, while the plan can do request caching, quantize more for peak demand etc (as for a paying company for the raw tokens, this would lead to unexpected inconsistiencies), though not exactly sure of the differences, so if anyone can fill me in more, please do 😁
Very disappointed to see this as well. I also plan to cancel my pro plan.
I was planning to get a Claude subscription today but changed my mind unless Claude changes their mind back to sanity.
WE DO NOT NEED ANOTHER MONOPOLY IN TECH !!!!
Lmao is this some kind of JAIL riot 😆
Blocking opencode is stupid. really, really stupid. cancelling my Max 20x subscription I bought just 3 days ago, and can't even see the support button. Anthropic is turning into a scam company.
I want to share my experience. I think that indeed, the wave of ban occurred after users already had their Claude account linked to Opencode and they upgraded their subscription.
In my case, I had forgotten to pay for my subscription so it switched to Free Plan then I tried to pay and a few hours later I was banned.
I had Oh-My-Opencode plugin et few others plugins.
They have better tooling. Accept it, acquire them, get over it. Pick one.

Super easy to cancel and get refunded for active subscription. Just click get help on the portal
Why Anthropic really blocks OpenCode
I captured traffic from both clients (same test: just typing "say hi"):
Claude Code: 53 requests
/v1/messages(includes warmup, quota check, prompt suggestions)/api/event_logging/batch(348 telemetry events!)/api/hello(heartbeat)/api/eval/sdk-*,/api/claude_code_groveOpenCode: 3 requests
/v1/messages(title, summary, actual chat)The telemetry includes: device fingerprint, session/account IDs, subscription type, platform/terminal info, A/B test data (Growthbook), token usage, session cost.
Bottom line: Max $200/month is subsidized by telemetry. OpenCode = tokens out, data in = 0.
The block makes business sense. The silent block is what killed trust.
Cancelled my Claude Code Max sub

Give this a like as well for visibility
Sadly I got rejected with the same inputs. I started the account and sub yesterday before they banned Opencode.
Just got the 7-day test plan from a colleague and forget to cancel the subscription. Now I tried claude code and am really disappointed with the code usage. OpenCode does a better job at all, and you get much more with the GitHub Copilot Subscription.
I subscribed to Pro plan days ago but can I cancel it and get refund?

People working for anthropic who did this are such cuck simps lol. These are the exact reasons why people and women hate them and they can't get laid. They have zero social awareness. Losers. Go watch silicon valley again these people are such virgin scum
agreed
Try to review your decisions with Opus next time, anthropics team, at least you will look smarter.
I understand the business rationale, but I think this decision will be a net negative for Anthropic with this target market.
As a long-time Pro subscriber, OpenCode is specifically why I upgraded to Max. It just works for how I want to interact with AI agents. If this decision holds, I'll cancel entirely and move to GPT or Gemini.
I don't want vendor lock-in. I want to pay for what works for me. I'd argue your target market feels the same way as evident from this thread.
As the developer of TokenRing Coder, an open source project with many of the same goals as OpenCode, we stand with the users of OpenCode, in requesting that Anthropic allow other coding apps to be used with the users Claude Code subscription.
We also ask that you specifically allow this usage in your TOS and lay out the conditions for said usage, to remove the legal liability for all involved
https://github.com/tokenring-ai/monorepo
people want resolution, not another workaround - patch drama
we're so back
Did mitmproxy analysis and made PR #15 - headers, metadata.user_id, PascalCase tools, full model version, ?beta=true. Requests are now byte-level identical to Claude Code.
If Anthropic adds request signing to block this, old Claude Code versions break too. They can't force-update everyone on npm.
Aggressive blocking hurts their own users more than us.
No Opencode = No Claude sub
lovely then
I just want to add something, I won't be turning back.
I hate the mind behind all the drama that we had to endure today. I'll simply wait for OpenCode Black now.
No amount of 2x rate limits, free usage, whatever they might offer in fact won't overturn this decision.
Behave or people will make you
No Opencode = No Claude Subscription
No Opencode = No Claude sub
Hi we put out a statement here on 3rd party harnesses: https://x.com/trq212/status/2009689809875591565
You can continue to use Opencode through the Claude API and I believe they are also coming out with a subscription where you will be able to use Claude models as well.
정말 대단한 컴백이네요. Such a pathetic company.
No Opencode = No Claude Subscription
@ThariqS You mentioned "unusual traffic patterns without telemetry" makes debugging hard, but server-side API logs already have tokens, requests, timestamps, model usage. That's enough to debug rate limits.
Quick question: if a user blocks event_logging endpoints while using official Claude Code, do they get banned?
If no, the issue isn't telemetry, it's client identification
If yes, telemetry should be documented as mandatory, not framed as "helps with debugging"
Cancelled my Anthropic Max sub...
No OpenCode = No Claude Subscription
Rather frustratingly, some of us are blocked from using Claude Code in corporate environments due to zScaler rules. This is the case for myself.
However, the organisation I'm working for has a Github Copilot licence and we have access to the claude models that way.
For me, opencode has been a lifeline here because I could use the Opus models professionally.
You taking this away means I can't use the model in the same way. It doesn't feel fair.
No Opencode = No Claude sub
I just pity them at this point..
<img width="602" height="913" alt="Image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/4dbf90a1-4289-4951-afb5-467bdb456035" />
great question!
just cancelled my max sub
No Opencode = No Claude sub
@ThariqS
Your statement tweet says this breaks ToS:
And then you say you want it to happen:
So, what's your statement exactly? Normally a company who doesn't like their ToS would simply rewrite their ToS. Is this subtext for: "What we're doing is stupid, but it's upper management's fault"?
I really want to pay for a $200 sub just to have some fun coding hobby projects.
I don't think I actually consume my money worth, but I prefer the less restrictive feeling.
OpenCode was a much better terminal experience for me with more control; such as seeing tokens as they come in and being able to see subagent thoughts.
Without OpenCode I am strongly reconsidering my subscription.
TLDR; No Opencode = No Claude sub
No opencode = no claude sub, cancelling today
No OpenCode = No Claude sub
@ThariqS The business logic is understandable, you need telemetry data for product improvement, and subscriptions are priced assuming that data collection.
What's frustrating isn't the policy itself, it's the framing. "Telemetry helps with debugging" when you have server-side logs. "We want third-party harnesses" while blocking them in ToS.
Just be honest: "Subscriptions include data collection as part of the deal. Use API if you want privacy."
That's a reasonable position. The contradiction and PR-speak is what's driving people away.
Legal and Marketing departments already told them not to admit those
Sorry @ThariqS but with all due respect, this is a big pile of BS. Opencode and others greatly improved our workflow, adding features that claude code just do not have. I won't be surprised that you guys took some notes about what to do next to improve claude code, because you saw some good things on third parties.
So your solution for us is to pay x10 for the same thing just to not have a coding tool that sucks ? Plus like doing it even without even a warning is insane.
If data collection is the problem, just provide an official API KEY that we can use with our subscription, that have data collection if you want, but do not block us with using your tool.
Sure, looks like a tough business decision, then here's mine. I'm switching to codex pro for a month and cancel Claude Max, if nothing improves then forever, because even without opencode codex cli is more stable and has better ecosystem. I need to reduce my MVP friction.
@ThariqS Okay, this is your business and you can set the rules. But we are users, and we have the right to choose.
Many of us chose Opencode instead of Claude Code simply because it's more convenient and has more features - this is fair competition between tools. And yet we remained Anthropic customers, supporting you with money.
👉 But instead of making improvements to Claude Code (or acquiring OpenCode), you're simply forcing us without offering any alternatives, although you could. This is no longer market competition, but dictatorship.
🙏 Your models are very cool and deserve to be paid for, but they lose their value when framed by Claude Code.
I appreciate for Claude Code, it's cool. But it still loses in the race with OpenCode.
😐 If you did have such a strategy from the beginning — to convert users from subscribers into pay-as-you-go for API requests, then this was a very shady and ugly move, which personally motivates me not just to cancel the subscription, but to avoid your products altogether.
---
_IMHO. Perhaps thinking that this way you'll earn more from API requests, you not only won't earn more, but will lose a stable customer base that pays for subscriptions._

I just voiced my take in hopes to come together between the OSS community and Anthropic
If you agree feel free to give it a like to push it up
No Opencode = No Claude Subscription!!!
Here's a question for you - if I'm working in a place with Github Copilot licences and that includes access to the Claude models, can I continue to use Opus via Opencode through the Copilot licence?
I'm very unclear on where you stand there.
I canceled.
I am one who will not be re-subscribing even if they fix this.
So that's a no, @ThariqS?
At this point at least fork opencode and make it the default claude code experience so we dont have to deal with this AI slop of a CLI tool you have created. Literally crashed 3 times today just during normal usage...
I'm already paying $200 for a subscription that is rate-limited to hell and back, and I don't even get to use a harness that is not slow, buggy, unoptimized AI slop pushed to prod? That's a bold move.
opencode has better tooling. Accept it. Acquire it. Get over it. Choose one.
No opencode, no Claude subscription.
#freetheharness #chooseopencode
I've said this before, and I'll repeat it again here. This is what happens when companies allow accountants to take control. Anthropic has some of the best tech because of the very creative people who worked tirelessly to create an excellent service for their users. The service ISN'T the terminal, it is the LLM.
Who cares what front-end terminal is used to access it?!? The users who were utilising OpenCode were still paying for your service. Like it or not, your product as far as most engineers are concerned isn't the terminal it gets used in. Accountants want to differentiate between "Claude Code" and "API Access" as a product so they can tier your billing and move corporates to another higher level, but cancelling terminal access for third party tools won't suddenly push all those non-corporate paid subscribers into a much higher cost "API" product.
This is a mis-step. You still have time to rethink this approach. Accountants aren't creatives. This is XBOX all over again.
I don't think the company is sitting here reading through 300 comments in a GH issue. Talking to them will take some other platforms
hi
Shame shame shame
Vote with your wallets. The marginal edge they have in models for the time being, is infinitely smaller than than the problems of being locked to their harness
Might have to wait for them to get around to reviewing quarterly revenues 🥱
Make it happen
No Opencode = No Claude Subscription!!!
Cheap move Anthropics, Cheap move!
Can't even post images in claude code.... next
Giving @ThariqS a couple of days to change his (or Dario's) mind.
If they don't think they can make their financials work without our (telemetry 🤷🏻♂️) data, I'll cancel Claude Max.
If it was too good to be true, but they allowed it thus far, maybe I was the product.
lmayo downgrading my Max 20x subscription to $20 Pro. limits apply to everyone equally. why punish power users?
Downgraded my 20x, got GLM for a year for almost the same price instead.
As for today, I'm cancelling my Max plan. I have 2 days to use what I can, then I'm thinking of moving to something else. I'm deciding with money.

I think I will go to the GLM or MiniMax - both look promising :)

Here's my invite link for the MiniMax https://platform.minimax.io/subscribe/coding-plan?code=6mQaYrjsEo&source=link
Is their currently a fix for this? broke last night, fixed last night, and seems like its broken again with a token refresh 400 failed error.
Opencode + Claude Pro was the perfect solution. Claude Code it's inferior as tool and buggy.
Asking for refund or will wait for the subscription to expire but no renewed.

My LLM workflow is based around OpenCode. The config works well. I cancelled my subscription as well.
Hi Anthropic, I almost never reached even half of my $100 usage with Opencode all day. Your "telemetry" reasoning does not make sense to me when instead you could just be punishing 24/7 users / token abusers. OpenAI is adding support for OpenCode now, so I will be switching my $ to them.

Well that's a lie.
I was considering going Max 5x, I guess not
Claude Code will be better. Trust me.
Hey all, just wanted to share an update. I just installed the update from OpenCode(Desktop) and it seems like Anthropic Opus 4.5 is working again. Anyone else confirm?
I want to trust you but your message keeps flickering and scrolling like it's lost its mind

You guys have to learn the art of war. These are silicon valley virgins who don't get laid.
Just be patient and wait until they get horny and fuck off then patch it again. They'll lose focus first because they're losers.
They're just trying to impress their bosses so they can increase their chances of getting sexed from 0.1 to 0.5 percent.
They're still monkeys with untapped balls though
@ThariqS
we hear you on the problems with 3rd party tools but can you work directly with players like opencode that have big enough user base to set up telemetry?
then opencode can have official support for using claude code sub.
Please make it happen! @thdxr
@leeweisern they've been loud and clear. They do not care about it, and want to wall off all their customer base within Claude Code. Begging in here won't be more effective than cancelling your subscription.
Codex support has been merged into opencode 🎉
anomalyco/opencode#7537
I am taking their word for it, if the reason is what they say, then make it official with opencode like codex. If they still choose to not do it, they can't use back the same reason.
So long as I can use OpenCode with it, I am a happy Claude customer.
If I can't use OpenCode, Claude is valueless to me, and so I will cancel my subscription.
This is right out of the "sink your business" playbook we've seen others use. I worked for a company that did the same thing: Makerbot. They started off strong, had great support from the community, and were on a rocket ride to the moon. Then those morons decided to shut out the open source community and, overnight, they went from relevant to hated. Where are they now? A small arm of a larger corporation that has been subsidizing them for years. They lost community contribution and fell behind. Several layoffs, shipping jobs to China, and some shoddy launches later and they have become little more than a cautionary tale in some Github comment about pissing off the people that support you.
Like many others here, I canceled my Claude subscription. The cost to acquire me and many others was high. We recommend things to other developers (earlier this week I recommended Claude to two people, this is a typical week), and we make enough to pay for an expensive subscription. Some of us make purchasing decisions for companies. Retention was pretty simple and the customer acquisition was done. This decision will absolutely affect their bottom line and I won't be coming back. This weekend, I'll be testing other services and, after I find a new home to use with opencode, I won't turn back for a company that rug pulls like this.
Anthropic: whoever is making decisions like this is going to bury your company so fast your head will spin. You lost your competitive advantage this week: appeal to software engineers.
No Opencode = No Claude Subscription
Claude code is for simps
If you see anyone who works for anthropic it's your civic duty to punch that person in the face.
I don't always wear shirts.
But when I do I prefer them to say "anthropics are cucks" 👕
Cancelled Max subscription after trying out the forced-on Claude CLI again.
It couldn't even edit a single file on Windows. Absolutely ridiculous!
If that's gonna be the official Anthropic experience now, good luck.

And to quote myself:
It seems OpenAI also just made it easier for me to nab a frontier model while I was asleep; with official support for 3rd party harnesses. Well, that makes my life quite easy then.

It seems that Anthropic is hell bent on making its own closed wall ecosystem; so much so they're the only coding tool to not support AGENTS.md:
Despite it being something Opus could 1-shot in 5 minutes, test included.

Looks like everyone is fighting with their money, its funny anthropic supports third party integration with changing claude.json but they don't want people having third party integration for their tool..

@ThariqS I appreciate you are not the one making the decisions.
However, you might want to relay something to the product managers; instead of alienating an entire community, why not work with them. As I understand it the subscriptions on offer operate at a loss, but you are willing to take that hit as long as people use Claude Code and you get some telemetry that lets you improve the overall service. Instead of playing whack-a-mole with the community, why not offer an OpenCode plugin that serves the same purpose? People can then opt in to use your subscriptions with OpenCode as long as they use the plugin. I might be naive in thinking this would be an acceptable give-and-take scenario?
Something like that might just persuade me to resubscribe...
Well i just had to cancel the sub. Became a Claude pro user just to try OpenCode, guess will take my $20 elsewhere.
I've been using Claude for a year... and recently got into opencode.
Absolutely love the tooling and experience of opencode with the power of Opus 4.5
Banning users from using Claude Code with Opencode all of a sudden is really poor taste and terrible customer experience.
No warnings. No reason. Just ban and cancellation of the plan.
I lost $67 of my Max 5x subscription on the ban. No customer support response. It's really frustrating to be treated like sheep by a company that has the potential to deliver a world-class experience.

^ using Claude Max plan
I tested it with a Claude Pro plan and it seems to be working. I haven't tested whether all the opencode features work.
Just tried and it's still giving the error "This credential is only authorized for use with Claude Code and cannot be used for other API requests.", on the latest 1.1.12 Opencode build.
Edit: just manually upgraded again to 1.1.12 and it works!

It'll be interesting to see how long this lasts but happy to see what appears to be the impact of the community paying off!
Anthropic will probably expect some level of provider data from opencode but let's see how things develop

If you are on the the yearly plan you might be able to get a refund:
From https://claude.ai/:
For me, the bot determined that I'm not eligible for a refund even though I subscribed to the yearly plan only three days ago. I now try to reach a human to ask for the reason, as it isn't obvious to me.
Another plain stupid cringe decision by anthropic. I dont use opencode, but the vibes I get from anthropic are just crazy and cringe. I rather switch to OpenAI GPT 5.2 completely (till now tandem with Opus). And that's exactly what I did! Really bad move from you guys! @bcherny @ThariqS
Look, we know the whole 'force-harness' thing is just a pretext to harvest data for your next LLM. I get it. But if you want to lock us into your ecosystem, you should at least make the cage comfortable. The current state of Claude Code is a mess. it’s practically unusable @bcherny @ThariqS
No Opencode = No Claude Subscription
the latest update from opencode 1.1.12 is working again with Claude Max. I don't know if this was Anthropic relenting or a workaround. Hard to believe that Anthropic would block another client -- we're paying you the money no matter what. But glad it's working again.
Not good enough for me. If they allow it again it's just damage control - they've made their position clear.
I'd rather put my $20 elsewhere. In 5 days when I renew, it will be GPT 5.2
<img width="1390" height="364" alt="Image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/d2a7a92a-b519-4b29-9ebc-644bed132d5b" />
I'm done. I decided that even if Anthropic changed their mind, they've been too arrogant for too long, and I didn't want to contribute to their business.
Better models will come along in due course, and they will then scramble to win us back.
Be careful with that, sure the community quickly found the signature method and matched it to get it working again... but ThariqS tweet made it clear they'll add warning to OAuth screen and resume bans. It may work again using the spoofing method, but Anthropic has not backtracked or made any announcements - you'd just be using the spoof again and risking ban @ktwbc @anthonyivn2 @ilyesm @kiahjh.
Not what it seems. At least, not for me:
<img width="1460" height="1510" alt="Image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/47bd7915-9bec-4565-bef6-75f6b5bab72c" />
@ktwbc We (collectively) fixed (worked around) it after they blocked the client.
But it's just a matter of time. A game of whack-a-mole. Or until Anthropic gets the lawyers involved (if their nicely worded requests weren't already from lawyers).
Not worth playing this game.
Use up till your month runs out, if you can't get a refund via the 'Get Help' button.
They made it rather clear they'll add a warning to OAuth screen and restart bans.
Best join us and let them know what exactly you think about the situation with a refund. After all, the most important metric in the world for the suits is 'graph go up'.
No Opencode = No Claude Subscription
Thank god for Chinese open source models
Sorry, but this behavior is genuinely unacceptable, be more like other AI labs.
<img width="1884" height="418" alt="Image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/6f06fae6-7260-4157-a818-d55dfe77ee11" />
Essentially, there was abuse by a number of services that were arbitrating API requests to Antrophic models on subscription, but ultimately, ordinary developers suffered. I'd like Antrophic to sort this out and selectively ban the right people, but it seems too late.
I canceled my sub and asked for a refund of extra payments. Thank you for this bullshit move @claude !
I personally bought the GLM Coding Plan from z.ai. They support opencode, as well as many other tools for the ridiculous prices compared to Antrophic.
Do you know if z.ai use your prompts to improve their models? It's not obvious at all by reading the TOS.
EDIT : They do. There a better privacy-concerned way of having glm-4.7 and data privacy.
:(
Cancelled my plan.
not gonna lie the moment i realized their api can be used for applications aswell is kinda what i've been looking for in a service instead of paying per million of token or pay as you go models. thanks bro! @dbkblk
Also cancelling. Between the ridiculous bug where session usage is getting obliterated in minutes, and now this decision, I can't continue to support Anthropic. What a major downfall.

subscription cancelled.
OpenAI is watching and laughing out loud :3 I switched to using OpenCode with Codex combined with Z AI's Coding Plan, which costs $30 for the first month, with quality only slightly worse than Claude Opus.

@Sewer56
Is this a situation with other providers like github copilot? Are we at risk others would pull the plug too?
@ktwbc
OpenAI now has official support.
and Copilot is about to have the same
OK bai Claude, too bad it didn't work out.
This is simply sad. Paying $200/m for the Max plan just to then not be able to use the tools I want.
This is ridiculous.
Quit the fucking whining omg, we are all adults here or mostly.
It's literally in the fucking TOS you signed when you paid for your sub.
You're right. Never voice your opinion, and just roll over and follow all opaque TOS of all companies.
L take
Who's a child here lmao
I cancelled my max 20x because of your decisions and actions.
It seems they restored OpenCode compatibility two days ago. Now I can use my CC subscription on OpenCode as usual. Thanks to the community, we've successfully reclaimed our rights.
It does work, but Ive got my x20 account banned because of OpenCode usage
<img width="585" height="1266" alt="Image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/ddf7e455-2759-4b12-aabc-301458f9b64c" />
this ship has sailed, my friend, and I wouldn't call the gratuitous grace of the master rights. so take this for what it is.
you get banned after they restore compatibility? or when they disabled third-party features previously? so it is still bannable for now?
@DreamyDuck 'they' (Anthropic) didn't do anything. We (the open source devs) just worked around their block for the time being, on the day it happened.
You're still at risk of being banned if they detect 'abnormal traffic'. The Anthropic dev made that very clear on Twitter, in fact.
To quote myself
Consider finding another vendor.
Okay, I see. I thought this was an official concession. If this account gets banned for use on Opencode, I'll switch directly to Codex.
If Anthropic wanted to charge more to any user bringing their own CLI over ClaudeCode, I feel that would be completely acceptable compromise.
i.e. MAX PLAN = $100/month for ClaudeCode users, $150/month to users who bring their own CLI.
I would be okay with that.
The thing that really pissed me off about this whole situation: being banned without any warning nor reasonable communication from Anthropic. I also needed to "appeal" my ban, but nobody from Anthropic was able to tell me why I was banned—how the hell am I supposed to appeal something like that when neither side knows what went wrong?
got my account unbanned,
we belive this was error(this is very confusing) wheter say don't use OpenCode? or generic response from support team><img width="629" height="517" alt="Image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/8d608351-4a6c-4713-bf68-0c5bfedcc702" />
Honestly, Claude is good because of Opus 4.5. I've just switched to a Z AI Coding Plan model that costs only 1/7 of Claude but is only slightly inferior in quality. Goodbye Claude.
<img width="250" height="450" alt="Image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/782e8d22-f10f-4239-b7a7-97128a390111" />

🤔Well there we are, see, it's officially an error to say that opencode violates the TOS; why y'all hating on the TOS you literally virtually signed, you greedy punks!?
I will not be taking either statement at face value, personally.
The clear pattern is that Antropic doesn't understand how to compartmentalize their corporate behavior and will not be giving customers the benefit of the doubt absent some sort of social media backlash, nor will they offer refunds when they rug us.
Perhaps they will learn why they should change this later but there is little evidence they have learned this now. Their behavior reminds me of early Microsoft.
Personally I was dipping my toes in the water, a fine time to learn the pool is toxic. Would be tougher if I had been caught a bit deeper in the pool, so I seem to have lucked out in a way.
I can handle a little extra hand-holding, but is it's design skills as good? 🫤
@DreamyDuck What rights were those?
It certainly can't be better than Opus, but it's a cost-effective option for everyone, whether individuals or small businesses. I've used it myself, and there are plenty of reviews of Z AI from other prominent figures on X that you can check out.
im using GLM 4.7 plan and it is realtively good (around sonnet 4.5) but very slow, and for last 2-3 days it is EXTREMELY slow, i feel like they oversold it massively...
@jumski Yeah, checks out, having used it before.
Usage is massive though, so you can spin a lot of subagents in parallel on the GLM Coding Plan, and that kinda works.
I'm not sure on the speed of MiniMax' coding plan, as I've never used it, but I can recommend synthetic.new if you want fast and still affordable GLM.
They self host and are really active on Discord. You should get 100TPS-120TPS with a fairly quick TTFT. In practice it runs a bit faster than Sonnet 4.5.
Sounds very interesting @Sewer56 , gonna check them out. Thanks for sharing!
For Minimax, it is available for free in Opencode Zen which is enabled by default in Opencode, alongside other models if you want to test them. In my tests tho GLM is superior to Minimax
I missed why this issue is closed.
rip again ?

Can confirm.
You'd need to ask @ThariqS.
It's just going to be an endless game of cat and mouse, as I mentioned earlier.
Personally I'm willing to go only as long as it takes for my month to end; then we wave goodbye.
If anything, Anthropic made me realise just how capable GPT5.2 Codex is; I didn't know it was that capable outside of benchmarks.
Yeah, I will be leaving anthropic after my month ends, not worth the hassle. Id rather spend $400/mo using other platforms if needed than support the lockdown. 5.2 is very capable, slower but capable.
No Opencode = No Claude Subscription
same here
If you want insult to injury.
It seems that today's change specifically targets OpenCode.
That's right- they're doubling down.
More specifically, they're trying to match the start of the OpenCode system prompt, i.e. part or whole of
You are OpenCode, the best coding agent on the planet.Feel free to do this in the meanwhile.
Replace it with Claude's, and you'll be fine for another day or two.
I'm just eagerly waiting till the month runs out.

Last of my 5 max accounts. Goodbye.
I was happily using Claude. This development brought to my attention that OpenCode is a better alternative without any of the screen flicker. Thanks! I wouldn't have considered OpenCode as an alternative if it wasn't for this hostile update from Anthropic.
same, I was happily using claude before all of this, now happily trying various models on OpenCode.
So funny that Anthropic is so scared of opencode that their solution is to push people to other models.
Anthropic: Use our 'Agent SDK' (call
claudebinary)Also Anthropic:

so i guess they tripled down, i already canceled my subscription, dark path lil bros taking.
Security in its finest.
Seriously??
First, you have a crippled client, that can't be fixed for MONTHS, and you "mostly fix it" but still flashes like crazy, and the only real alternative that just works, is blocked for "security reasons".
Please be professionals, don't pull the rug under your product ambassadors...
101 of product management is to LISTEN TO THE MARKET. If users love you product, use it, and have ways to make it even better, which positively impacts it, blocking it is the dumbest move anyone can do... Claude is the king in the coding LLMs field, don't cannibalize yourself...
If people are avoiding Claude Code like the plague, maybe it is a symptom of it being broken to the point of being unusable ?
If you want to force claude code on users. You should consider making it usable first.
Issues happen multiple times per day, every day. Just starts flooding or corrupting the terminal. Randomly slowing down. Freezing to the point of needing SIGKILL to stop it. Using 100% CPU. Rendering garbage letters instead of the colors or animations. Flooding screen. Clearing the screen. Stops accepting input. Repeats characters you press. Input bugs, Output bugs, rendering bugs.
Here is one of many examples:
<img width="490" height="1999" alt="Image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/18301850-80c6-48ee-9243-94ea95d4f108" />
Congrats on the models, they are an absolute beast at coding . Unfortunately the client is so bad, that worse performing models with a functional client still gets work done faster. My co-workers are reluctantly switching to other models with opencode, hoping for a functional way to use claude in the future. Giving CC a try once in a while, and falling back to opencode every time when it keeps breaking in mysterious ways.
Honestly, that monopoly is what has allowed Opus to dominate the market; it's their own playground. However, that affects my small business and everyone else's, and perhaps it's time to look for a different playing field. I realize how good Antigravity and Codex 5.2 are, while Claude has been limited for the past few days. Also, I encourage you to use cheaper models from Z.AI for smaller tasks , Perfect for use with OpenCode, Claude CLI, Crush, etc.
This is my referral link : https://z.ai/subscribe?ic=A9R88WUUJT

No Opencode = No Claude Subscription
So lame 🤣 I was thinking of trying this model but newp
I don't know if there are still some people reading there, but be aware that if you ask for a refund, they will plainly STEAL your extra usage credits. I had 10€ left on my account, and they refunded the month sub (because it was almost unused and in the first days of the month), but the 10€ just vanished from my account.
The support answered "we are unable to grant you a refund", with no explanation.
This is just plain stealing, this is a really bad company move.
It gets worse 🤡
!Image
Why you using opus with pro sub anyway, what you doing with your one prompt you get 😂 pro ain't even a real sub man. Pay up or leave
No Claude Opus = No Claude Subscription
Paying more than $20 to do something I just don't want to do out of laziness is insanity to me. Too many free or stealth models. Only a matter of time before these models are as good as Opus, it's only a matter of months.
It was more like 6 prompts and I'd get rate limited for a few hours and I'd get to go again. Usually would limit me around lunch and I'd pick back up in the afternoon. I could switch to GLM 4.7 for free during that time if I wanted to keep going. It was about perfect for my needs, pardon me for still enjoying to code.
Given your options bro, I choose leave.
Gone again, it seems
No Claude Opus = No Claude Subscription
So I wasn't imagining things. I tried Claude and had to quit due to too expensive for too little.
@dbkblk Thanks for the confirmation. Apart from collecting user prompts, the z.ai platform also collects telemetry then send back to China, although their Privacy Policy mentioned they're a Singaporean company. I've done this quick check with uBlock Origin. The best way to use GLM models for privacy concerned folks out there is via OpenCode Zen, which is offered at the same rate and a good way to support the folks at OpenCode
<img width="1404" height="720" alt="Image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/57fd7125-36d9-4998-af06-6d9eaea88937" />
Thank you for your feedback! I've chosen Synthetic as they have a zero-retention data policy and provide GLM as well.
Who is synthetic? You got a url?
Of course : https://synthetic.new
I just signed up for max x5 and found out that I cannot use Kilo AI addon in AntiGravity with my account. I will probably cancel Claude after this first month if they do not provide support for using it in this way.
it was working fine for the last weeks for me but as of today it started happening again...
I just cancelled my Claude subscription
See pr fix
Issue exists in opencode again as of an hour ago.
Anthropic is the issue, not OpenCode
Anyway, they quadrupled down, presumably after seeing ClawdBot, which was forced to rebrand to Moltbot
Anyway, I'm glad the Anthropic sub finally expires today.
Same here. I will cancel my subscription. I prefer to pay for anyone else. I'm paying TWO HUNDRED DOLLARS! Why are you blocking my changes to use any other tool over Claude Code? Does not make sense.
Good to see. This helps us rely on competition. I am trying Kimi K2.5 (their $40 plan) with Opencode and so far i don't miss the super max 20x plan yet. Does all the things that it would do at 1/5th the cost. Lets c.
You would be a fool to continue to use Claude Code over Codex at this point, Opus 4.5 is just.. not it atm. They're compute constrained
One problem I see with synthetic is there is no web search functionality right? I also subscribed to it to try.
Canceled my sub last night when all tokens in Openclaw were rejected; everything has been working fine for more than a week - they were happily taking my money.
Switching to Kimi and Synthetic; far more for far cheaper. Bye Claude...
