[Feature Request] Restore claude -p support or provide alternative pricing for agentic workflows
Bug Description
I just got the email about the shut down of claude -p and making us beg you for a $200 credit. This is the death knell for Claude for me. I have many agentic workflows for my coding (see on github at dbinky/ralph-o-matic, which is partially adopted by 1 enterprise already) that rely on this technique. This proposed pricing change is an outrageous abuse and effectively ends my research and use of autonomous pipelines with Anthropic.
If this happens on June 15 as scheduled, I will be switching to gpt-5.5 in codex where they still allow this type of use. Additionally, I'll probably have my ralph server start using the highly-capable open weight models like Kimi K2.6 and Deepseek 4 for my refinement loops and only use gpt for planning and drafting. This is insane BS and you guys know it. WHY WHY WHY would you not want people to build agentic workflow orchestration engines?
Enshittification of what used to be the best code tool ever was just too attractive for ya?
Screw this - find some other way to monetize your declining-in-quality product.
