At 12 PM Pacific today, Anthropic flipped the switch. Claude Max subscriptions - the $100/month and $200/month plans that gave you unlimited Opus 4.6 - no longer work with third-party tools like OpenClaw, Cline, or any harness outside Anthropic's own apps. If you were running Claude Code through a third-party client on your Max subscription, it stopped working this afternoon. The announcement came from Boris Cherny, Claude Code's creator, and was confirmed across multiple channels.
