GoKawiilAnthropic offers up to $250 in credits for Claude Code cloud sessions
Anthropic has opened Claude Code's cloud sessions—previously a research preview—to eligible Pro and Max subscribers, letting them run coding tasks on Anthropic's servers instead of their own machines. To encourage adoption, Pro users get $100 and Max users get $250 in promotional credits, claimable via Claude's website by October 7, with unused balances expiring November 4.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
By running credits separately from normal usage limits, Anthropic gives subscribers a way to keep working even after hitting their regular caps, which could push more users toward paid cloud compute long-term. The time-limited nature of the offer suggests Anthropic wants to quickly build usage habits around cloud sessions before reverting to standard billing.
- Cloud sessions let Claude Code run remotely on Anthropic's infrastructure, continuing tasks even when your device is offline.
- Pro subscribers get $100 and Max subscribers get $250 in credits, available only to those who had active plans as of September 23.
- Credits must be claimed by October 7 and expire November 4, after which cloud sessions count against normal plan limits.
