Anthropic has updated its Claude usage policy, with the new rules set to take effect on Nov. 12, 2026. The revised policy adds restrictions under a section on platform misuse and explicitly bans unauthorized resale, brokering, or other forms of providing Claude access to third parties. The update calls out two specific practices. One is repackaging usage quotas from consumer subscriptions such as Claude Pro and Max into paid third-party API services. The other is disguising the actual product or client in use, including making requests from third-party tools appear as if they came from an official client in order to bypass access restrictions. According to the policy change cited by ChainCatcher, merchants that rely on consumer subscription quotas to run API relay services now face clearer policy limits.

The update identifies two practices by name. The first is turning usage quotas from consumer subscriptions such as Claude Pro and Max into paid third-party API services. The second is disguising the actual product or client being used, such as making requests from third-party tools appear to come from an official client to get around access limits.
Under the new language, merchants that provide API relay services based on consumer subscription quotas face clearer policy restrictions.
