| Your Claude Max or Team plan now pays for Respira AER. |
|
Anthropic added $100 to $200 of monthly API credit to every Max plan, and up to $500 to Team plans. Put a key from that organization into Respira AER, the chat in your Respira dashboard that edits your WordPress sites, and the credit does the work.

What Anthropic added on 7 October.
A Claude Max or Team plan now links to one Claude Console organization, and that organization receives API credit every billing cycle: $100 a month on Max 5x, $200 a month on Max 20x, and on Team $20 per standard seat and $100 per premium seat, pooled into one balance capped at $500 (three standard and two premium seats make $260). No card is needed in the console. Unused credit expires at the end of each cycle and does not roll over.
The credit covers the Claude API. It does not cover Claude Code or extra usage in the Claude apps. New subscribers can claim it after seven days on the plan.

Why that pays for your WordPress work.
Respira AER is the chat in your Respira dashboard that reads and edits every WordPress site connected to your account, and it runs on your own model key. Respira has never marked the tokens up; the receipt under each run shows the provider's own price. A key created in the organization your Max plan is linked to spends the included credit first.
In the last thirty days a run in AER on Claude Opus cost under a dollar on average. $200 is in the region of two hundred Opus runs a month, and several times that on Claude Sonnet. AER is included in every paid Respira plan and in the seven day trial.
Nothing changes for Claude Desktop or claude.ai with Respira as a connector: those already run on your plan's normal chat usage. Claude Code with the Respira MCP server is not covered, by Anthropic's own rule.

How to claim it, in four steps.
- Link the organization. On claude.ai in a browser: Settings, then Billing on Max, or Organization settings, then Billing on Team, where an Owner does it for the whole team. In the API credits section choose the console organization that should receive the credit, or create one, and accept the terms. One plan links to one organization and you cannot move it yourself later, so pick the one you will build in.
- Create a key. At platform.claude.com open Settings, then API keys, and create a key named "Respira AER". Copy it straight away; the console shows it once.
- Paste it into Respira. Open your dashboard, AER, choose the Anthropic tile and paste the key. Respira makes one small test call, seals the key and never shows it again.
- Start a chat. AER opens on Claude Opus 5.5. The credit appears in the console under Settings, Billing, Promotional credits, with its expiry date.
When the balance runs out, AER shows an amber line with a link to your billing page, touches nothing on your site, and the next cycle's credit arrives on its own. Usage is never charged to your Claude plan.
