Only the interactive TUI (`cc_entrypoint=cli`) continues drawing from the unlimited subscription. +Anthropic routes `claude -p` (headless/SDK mode) through a separate Agent SDK credit pool ($100–$200/month on Max plans). Only the interactive TUI (`cc_entrypoint=cli`) draws from the unlimited subscription. The billing path is determined by an `isatty` check inside the `claude` binary: when stdout is a TTY, the session is tagged `cc_entrypoint=cli` and billed against the subscription. When stdout is a pipe (as with `claude -p`), it becomes `cc_entrypoint=sdk-cli` and draws from the credit pool instead.
