Claude Code no longer included in Pro tier

Did Anthropic just ghost its $20 Pro users? Fans say the company quietly scrubbed Claude Code—its “AI that reads your files and helps you ship faster”—from the $20 plan on the pricing page, and the comment section lit up like a code deploy at 5 p.m. on Friday. Some users insist it’s still listed for them, others say it’s gone, and a few report the command line tool still works “for now,” which only made the panic worse.

The receipts are flying. User rideontime claims an archived support page was edited today to remove mentions of Pro, stoking theories that Anthropic is flipping switches in real time. toraway went full consumer-protection mode, asking if new users are seeing “misleading” plan info as an upsell tactic—pure accusation, but it had the crowd nodding. Meanwhile, hebleb, an annual Pro subscriber, is sweating: if Code disappears mid-year, do they get downgraded too?

Then came the wallet jokes. colechristensen compared it to Uber’s glow-up: cheap at first, then reality hits. x0x0 piled on with “30–50% token inflation,” turning the thread into a group therapy session about AI costs. The meme of the day: “It’s not a bug, it’s a pricing experiment.” Whether this is a phased change, a comms fumble, or a real perk pullback, users feel whiplash—and they’re not shy about saying it.
