I'm using Claude Code in my terminal and logged in to my Pro account. According to Anthropic's support article when rate limit is reached, I should have the option to switch to pay-as-you-go usage with an Anthropic Console account. I just hit my rate limit and am presented with no options. What should I do to be able to resume my coding session with Console/API billing? I have a Console account with some pre-paid credit available.

tl;dr: I am looking for an API that tells me how much credit I have with Anthropic but cannot find one. And I have some questions.. :)

Hi, all. I hope you are having a great day.

I've been using Anthropic APIs for my side project, which so far has been fun.

For an admin dashboard, I am looking for an API to show how much credit I have left with Anthropic, and to my surprise, I cannot find it in the official documentation.

Upon inspecting network calls when visiting Anthropic Console page, I can see that they already have an internal endpoint, which is https://console.anthropic.com/api/organizations/{org-id}/prepaid/credits ( I haven't tried hitting it from my app, but I image they have CORS enabled ).

I also see a few other existing (internal) endpoints that seem to be useful [0] to make public and also bake into client SDK, such as /invoice_balance*,* /invoices*,* and /current_spend. And the below are my questions

1. If billing APIs already exist and I missed, I am terribly sorry. Can someone kindly point me to relevant doc(s) please?

2. Does anyone know if Anthropic plans to release "billing APIs"?

3. Is there a process to request APIs, and perhaps we can vote candidate APIs as a community?

I searched this community first and failed to find a similar question, so I decided to post.

Thanks everyone!

Warm regards

[0] With billing APIs, a few example use cases I can see are

1. dynamically change AI model depending on the remaining balance

2. set alerts based on current usage / remaining balance / invoice

3. maybe, if an app were to be powered by donation, you could show the current credit when asking for donations?
