Anthropic briefly moved Claude Code from $20 Pro to $100+ Max tier, then reverted; pricing confusion around feature tiers.

Was looking at buying the $20 Plan today after a demonstration from a friend (and wanting to switch/try my options from Codex), but saw that Claude Code was not included. I wanted to ask if this was a temporary change, or if the Pro plan truly never had Claude Code, and I was mistaken. My friend has a Max plan, so I could just be mistaken. Thanks!

https://github.com/BrainBlend-AI/tesseron Just open-sourced a protocol and TypeScript SDK I built mostly *with* Claude Code. The goal: let *Claude* (or any MCP client) drive a live application (browser tab, *Electron* / *Tauri* desktop app, Node daemon, CLI) by calling typed handlers inside your code, instead of scraping the UI with *Playwright* or *Computer Use*. It's called **Tesseron**. Ships as a Claude Code plugin, so install is one command: ``` /plugin marketplace add BrainBlend-AI/tesseron /plugin install tesseron@tesseron ``` Plugin spawns a small local MCP gateway automatically. ...

I am running into a pretty serious reasoning issue with Claude Opus 4.7. In my case, the problem is not just that it made a mistake or misunderstood a complex codebase. It seems unable to maintain a logical thread even across a few sentences. I was discussing a communication protocol and a very specific issue involving the encapsulation of 2 packets. This was not an especially obscure topic, just a technical discussion where consistency across consecutive messages really matters. But it keeps losing the thread almost immediately. It will accept premise A, then a couple of sentences later r...

I’ve been building plugins for Claude Code, and the first version of the idea was very Claude-focused. That made sense at the start. Claude Code has a real plugin model, hooks are useful, and it is one of the few agent tools where plugins can actually become part of a daily workflow. But after building a few integrations, I kept running into the same uncomfortable question: If I write the useful part of a plugin once, why should I rewrite or repackage the same thing again for Codex, Gemini, Cursor, OpenCode, and whatever comes next? The actual plugin logic is often not Claude-specific. Th...

**TL;DR**: Bought Claude Max 5x Gift on April 9, 2026. Worked fine for 12 days, then silently downgraded to Free plan with zero notification. Billing still shows “Paid $0.00” and valid until May 9. This is a widespread known bug. The real problem is support: \- [https://support.anthropic.com](https://support.anthropic.com) has no **ticket form**, no way to submit a real request for regular users. \- The only way to contact support is through the in-app “Get Help” chat on [claude.ai](http://claude.ai) — which is just useless Fin AI Agent. \- Once your account is downgraded to Free, h...
