Paseo is not. + +Even though the usage is practically interactive — you type prompts, review output, and approve tool calls in real time — Anthropic classifies Paseo as "programmatic usage" because it is a third-party app that authenticates through the Agent SDK. + +## What this means for you + +- Your **interactive** Claude Code usage (terminal, IDE, Claude Desktop) continues to draw from your main subscription limits, unchanged. +- Your **Paseo chat** usage draws from the separate Agent SDK monthly credits. +- Using Claude Code inside a Paseo terminal draws from your main subscription limits, same as any terminal. + +## You can still use the terminal + +Paseo has first-class terminal support.
