Anthropic blocks third-party use of Claude Code subscriptions

But they get telemetry, feedback, good will, etc. That’s one reason why usage is discounted to a subscription fee.

Good will, huh?

You don’t think Claude Code has generated good will for Anthropic? People just liking a brand is powerful.

I don't think this move is generating good will.

A tiny minority being inconvenienced because they are breaking terms of use is fine for them vs pricing claude subscriptions at the true cost.

They don't get any telemetry or feedback data from me, as I've turned all that off. So why should I be limited to CC?

If you don’t want to use CC, just use the API
