## The brief

Written by Claude Opus 5.5 from 110 labelled posts and the numbers on this page. Interpretation, not measurement: every quote is verbatim and links to its post.

**Vendors take your money fast and answer disputes slowly, if ever.**

TL;DR:

- Bot-run support that refuses refunds and human escalation is the loudest failure in this area.
- Sudden bans, unprovisioned plans and vanished credits stack up behind it, mostly at the big agents.
- Amp and OpenAI Codex earn goodwill by crediting outages and granting refunds without a fight.

In plain terms: When billing or access breaks, users usually reach an AI support agent that cannot fix it. Bans land without warning. Paid plans sometimes never activate. The vendors users praise are the ones that credit outages before anyone asks.

### How it breaks

- **The AI support wall** ([Support, refunds and issue handling](https://feedbackbench.com/criteria/account.support.md), [Wrong charges, failed payments and plan provisioning](https://feedbackbench.com/criteria/account.billing_errors.md)). Billing disputes stall because AI support agents refuse refunds and block requests for a human, so small charges turn into multi-week ticket fights.
  Users describe the same loop across vendors. The AI agent denies the refund, opens a fresh ticket to replace the old one, and declines to escalate. Cursor posts are the most detailed, with users quoting ticket numbers and still getting nowhere. Codex users report hours lost trying to recover credits through AI support. Copilot and Cline users report tickets sitting unanswered for days. Access to a human agent is a standing request in this area, led by Cursor users.
  Evidence:
  - Complaint, OpenAI Codex, r/codex, 2026-09-12: “same thing happened to me last week, good luck getting the ai support to actually give it back without sacrificing hours of your life, it really sucks =(” [source](https://www.reddit.com/r/codex/comments/1wedff7/i_asked_about_reserve_codex_spent_my_saved_reset/p9cqd14/)
  - Complaint, Cursor, Trustpilot, 2026-09-24: “i paid for one month of cursor pro and forgot to cancel. the subscription auto-renewed 5 times ($100 total, oct 2025 - feb 2026) while i never once used the product - something cursor can verify on their own backend. when i found the charges and asked for a refund, their ai support agent refused four times, dodged every request for human review, and even opened a new ticket (t-g11785) to replace my original one (t-g4140). my reference to california's auto-renewal law (ab 2863, which requires renewal notices i never received) was dismissed with 'we can't comment on legal claims.' the product itself may be good, but a company that hides behind an ai wall to keep $100 of unused subscription charges doesn't deserve blind trust. if you subscribe, watch your statements closely.” [source](https://www.trustpilot.com/reviews/6ab4df2872c9b0f813bab8de)
  - Complaint, GitHub Copilot, r/GithubCopilot, 2026-09-14: “no answer still…. it’s been 5 days since i made support ticket” [source](https://www.reddit.com/r/GithubCopilot/comments/1wef2py/wrong_info_in_billing_blocked_me_from_subscripting/p9runri/)
  - Complaint, Cline, @cline, 2026-09-07: “@cline i had cancelled my clinepass and disabled auto-renewal, but was still charged for another month. ticket #<phone_number> has been open for 30+ hours with no response. could you please look into this and process the refund?” [source](https://twitter.com/1985091626663071744/status/2096912028749500673)

- **Bans that arrive without warning** ([Account bans and access restrictions](https://feedbackbench.com/criteria/account.bans_restrictions.md), [Support, refunds and issue handling](https://feedbackbench.com/criteria/account.support.md)). Accounts go on hold mid-session with no notice, and usage spent before the block is rarely refunded.
  Claude Code users report holds triggered by a single message and security flags on projects that have nothing to do with security. Codex users describe accounts that work for seconds and then stop. Antigravity posts worry about disabling at scale with no stated reason. Reinstating banned accounts is a top request, driven by Claude Code and Antigravity users. The fear spreads to third-party harnesses, where users build workarounds just to avoid losing a main account.
  Evidence:
  - Complaint, Claude Code, r/ClaudeCode, 2026-09-24: “i never got a warning genius. i just sent a message and the account was immediately put on hold.” [source](https://www.reddit.com/r/ClaudeCode/comments/1wpam3u/claude_account_nuked_from_orbit_after_32_minutes/pbtv7vf/)
  - Complaint, Claude Code, @ClaudeDevs, 2026-09-25: “@claudedevs got blocks for [cyber] on non- cyber security projects. and usage was used and not refunded. and that was yesterday. so, yeah, you're putting the whole picture here, are you.” [source](https://twitter.com/1015236363820716032/status/2103277149948113407)
  - Complaint, OpenAI Codex, r/codex, 2026-09-17: “i can confirm this. basically the account is banned. cannot use to do anything. sometime it will works for few seconds then stop :d” [source](https://www.reddit.com/r/codex/comments/1wiymd4/10_days_straight_of_selected_model_is_at_capacity/paeff58/)
  - Complaint, Google Antigravity, r/google_antigravity, 2026-09-09: “exactly. hopefully this is just some vibe coded google backend slop. google should fix this because this could get out of hand very quickly. can you imagine hundreds of thousands or millions of accounts getting disabled because of no reason? google should be fined hell and back.” [source](https://www.reddit.com/r/google_antigravity/comments/1wbqdaj/account_disabled/p8u6i6w/)

- **Payments fail, plans never activate** ([Wrong charges, failed payments and plan provisioning](https://feedbackbench.com/criteria/account.billing_errors.md)). Checkout rejects valid cards or accepts payment and then leaves the account on the free tier.
  Kiro posts dominate. Users say Visa and Mastercard get rejected for months, one card type works where another fails, and accounts get downgraded after payment verification fails on re-signup. Devin and OpenCode users report the same pattern of paid-but-not-provisioned or cards refused. Some Kiro users fixed it by reopening a fresh checkout page, which points to a flaky flow rather than a policy.
  Evidence:
  - Complaint, Kiro, r/kiroIDE, 2026-09-25: “for anyone still encountering this issue, none of my visa credit cards worked. it was only my debit card that ended up being accepted.” [source](https://www.reddit.com/r/kiroIDE/comments/1u4qlvq/kiro_rejecting_my_card_payment/pc01g2q/)
  - Complaint, Kiro, r/kiroIDE, 2026-09-25: “i have been trying to subscribe since june and the support has not been of any help to me. i am in <street_address> and visa, mastercard are constantly being rejected. only an amex from a friend of mine was approved. in the kiro discord, there are many reports of rejected payment issues, but the problem remains unresolved. i assume the problem is to be attributed to stripe, but the fact that no solution has been proposed is shameful.” [source](https://www.reddit.com/r/kiroIDE/comments/1wq22ib/kiro_payment_declined_anyone_else/pc1g8nq/)
  - Complaint, Kiro, r/kiroIDE, 2026-08-31: “yes if u hv used the credit card previously and tried to sign up again. it will accept initially and moment later account downgraded due to payment verification failure” [source](https://www.reddit.com/r/kiroIDE/comments/1w360ra/does_anyone_know_about_this_kiro_subscription/p6xxh62/)
  - Complaint, Devin, @cognition, 2026-09-11: “@cognition he pocketed my money; i bought a $20 pro, but my account is still free. <strict_link>” [source](https://twitter.com/2045154173264510976/status/2098211837355372676)

- **Credits that vanish or never apply** ([Wrong charges, failed payments and plan provisioning](https://feedbackbench.com/criteria/account.billing_errors.md)). Balances go negative, zero out during incidents, or sit unused because the product cannot find the right billing source.
  A Codex user says API credits were zeroed during a service incident and not restored. Amp users report credits in three workspaces that the product still would not draw from. Cline users hit negative balances on connect. OpenCode users hold off on buying more tokens until a discrepancy is explained. The damage is trust, not just dollars, because users stop topping up.
  Evidence:
  - Complaint, OpenCode, @opencode, 2026-09-21: “@anomalyco @opencode attaching screenshots for the same. please help resolve this urgently. i need to buy more tokens, but due to this discrepancy, i am hesitant to add more credit. <strict_link>” [source](https://twitter.com/2053524764132782080/status/2102075146651701756)
  - Complaint, OpenAI Codex, r/codex, 2026-09-16: “i've repeatedly commented about my distrust of oai's leadership and my skepticism about a lot of their pr announcements, along with my recent experience with them zeroing out my api credits during last weeks service incident and not comping them back. if they're actively trying to suppress negative sentiment they're doing a bad job imo.” [source](https://www.reddit.com/r/codex/comments/1wi315r/whos_my_little_unpaid_pr_intern/pa7by88/)
  - Complaint, Amp, @AmpCode, 2026-09-08: “blocked on @ampcode not using the paid credits i already have. i have a project in my personal workspace, and a few days ago i switched billing from workspace a to workspace b. - personal workspace still has credits remaining - workspace a has credits - workspace b has credits despite that, i'm still unable to continue using amp. not sure which workspace/billing source it's trying to use or why the available credits aren't being picked up. report: amp_bug_5y8yjzcox2ppka5pe1zdum” [source](https://twitter.com/1949773476463575041/status/2097194008330248603)
  - Complaint, Cline, r/CLine, 2026-09-14: “when i connect it always like this {"message":"insufficient balance. your cline credits balance is $-0.10","code":"insufficient\_credits","providerid":"openai-compatible","details":{"current\_balance":-0.1,"message":"insufficient balance. your cline credits balance is $-0.10"}}” [source](https://www.reddit.com/r/CLine/comments/1wfxi8d/i_have_issues_with_cline_pass/)

- **Retention policy decides adoption** ([Data retention, training use and deployment isolation](https://feedbackbench.com/criteria/account.data_privacy.md)). For team use, written zero data retention and isolated deployment matter more to users than model quality.
  OpenCode posts praise zero data retention on specific models and want it in writing for free tiers. Cursor users welcome agents on their own machines because data boundaries were the real blocker. Zed users hold back from a feature that stores private code remotely. Skeptics on Antigravity doubt any retention promise from a large vendor. This is the one area where praise clusters, and it rewards explicit policy over vague assurances.
  Evidence:
  - Praise, OpenCode, @opencode, 2026-09-26: “@opencode zero data retention is the line that decides whether a team can point this at real work rather than a toy repo. context length is a preference. retention is a policy question someone in legal has already answered.” [source](https://twitter.com/1731877835256516608/status/2103847879857361100)
  - Praise, OpenCode, @opencode, 2026-09-26: “@opencode zero data retention on a free model is the line we'd want in writing. free usually means the data is the price.” [source](https://twitter.com/2093334509613912064/status/2103850170618372311)
  - Complaint, Zed, @zeddotdev, 2026-09-17: “@zeddotdev really don’t want to store the private codebase in the remote server. this prevents using delta in company development.” [source](https://twitter.com/1277811422697840641/status/2100428485970080245)
  - Praise, Cursor, @cursor_ai, 2026-09-02: “@cursor_ai that's actually huge for teams with compliance requirements. no more sending data to third-party clouds just to run an agent loop. curious how the scaling works with idle machines though - do they spin down fast enough to not burn credits?” [source](https://twitter.com/1721322400237940736/status/2095258341287329809)

### Who stands out

- **Amp (stronger)**. Amp credits users for outages before they file tickets, and that proactive move drives most of its praise here.
  Users say Amp reached out about affected sessions unprompted and issued free credits once an outage was confirmed. Fixes land fast enough that users mention timing. The weak spots are mechanical, with paid credits not being picked up across workspaces and web bug reports going unanswered. The pattern is a small team that responds personally, which works until volume outgrows it.
  Evidence:
  - Praise, Amp, @AmpCode, 2026-09-24: “@iannuttall @ampcode the credit is nice, but knowing you were affected before you filed a ticket is the impressive part. did their email mention your failed image, or was it a broader incident note?” [source](https://twitter.com/2065822065710817280/status/2103109435468193823)
  - Praise, Amp, @AmpCode, 2026-09-02: “so it really was an outage! thanks for the free credits, @ampcode. <strict_link>” [source](https://twitter.com/1526191724498145280/status/2095024940886134987)
  - Praise, Amp, @AmpCode, 2026-09-08: “@ampcode thanks for the quick fix team, the new threads on the project works now, just the old thread is not repaired. which is fine, i'll create new orbs and get back to orgin'!” [source](https://twitter.com/1949773476463575041/status/2097197952842523044)
  - Complaint, Amp, @AmpCode, 2026-09-07: “@ampcode hi @sqs, can you help me? it seems no one has responded to the bug report i submitted through the web.” [source](https://twitter.com/1455730994976227331/status/2096832701366141307)

- **OpenAI Codex (stronger)**. Codex users report refunds granted and free months offered on cancel, which reads as a vendor actively working to keep accounts.
  Posts contrast a Codex refund with a denied Claude refund. Users describe a free month of Pro after canceling and support walking them through a billing fix. The complaints are real though. Credits zeroed during an incident, AI support that eats hours, and accounts that stop working without explanation. Codex wins on how it handles money, not on how it handles access.
  Evidence:
  - Praise, OpenAI Codex, r/codex, 2026-09-20: “i got a refund in codex and got denied a refund for claude. i started a dispute because this is a scam.” [source](https://www.reddit.com/r/codex/comments/1wl4511/how_can_i_get_a_refund_in_the_eu/paxewq0/)
  - Praise, OpenAI Codex, r/codex, 2026-09-17: “i got 1 month of pro after canceling. seems they care about customer retention right now. i took the free offer a month ago.” [source](https://www.reddit.com/r/codex/comments/1winzym/i_was_going_to_cancel_my_plus_subscription_and/pacl9gb/)
  - Praise, OpenAI Codex, r/codex, 2026-09-20: “i have 3 20x accounts, i just accidently mixed up the billing details on one of them and wanted to change it. that was not possible in retrospect so support told me to cancel and resubscribe instead with the correct billing information. i am super happy with it.” [source](https://www.reddit.com/r/codex/comments/1wlfsti/got_a_refund_in_2_mins_lol/pay793e/)
  - Complaint, OpenAI Codex, r/codex, 2026-09-16: “i've repeatedly commented about my distrust of oai's leadership and my skepticism about a lot of their pr announcements, along with my recent experience with them zeroing out my api credits during last weeks service incident and not comping them back. if they're actively trying to suppress negative sentiment they're doing a bad job imo.” [source](https://www.reddit.com/r/codex/comments/1wi315r/whos_my_little_unpaid_pr_intern/pa7by88/)

- **Claude Code (weaker)**. Claude Code combines abrupt account blocks with unrefunded usage, though users who appeal sometimes get access back within days.
  Users describe holds with no warning and security flags on ordinary projects, with spent usage lost. Ban appeals and human review are top requests from Claude Code users. The upside is that appeals do pass, and some teams report subscriptions restored after a couple of days. Users still call the block-first flow bad UX, because the money and access vanish before any review happens.
  Evidence:
  - Praise, Claude Code, @ClaudeDevs, 2026-09-25: “@anthropicai @claudedevs appeal passed i gotta say they have good support. however being blocked in one day knowing they can just block you take your money away is crazy ux.” [source](https://twitter.com/1629581747926048774/status/2103326155453399429)
  - Praise, Claude Code, r/ClaudeCode, 2026-09-25: “we had similar situation a couple of months ago, after a couple of days they restored the subscription.” [source](https://www.reddit.com/r/ClaudeCode/comments/1wpam3u/claude_account_nuked_from_orbit_after_32_minutes/pbxjbi9/)
  - Complaint, Claude Code, @ClaudeDevs, 2026-09-25: “@claudedevs got blocks for [cyber] on non- cyber security projects. and usage was used and not refunded. and that was yesterday. so, yeah, you're putting the whole picture here, are you.” [source](https://twitter.com/1015236363820716032/status/2103277149948113407)
  - Complaint, Claude Code, @ClaudeDevs, 2026-09-06: “@bodhikittu @claudeteam @anthropical @claudeai @claudedevs @anthropicai @googleplay not yet either a refund or access needs to be addressed let's see what best can i get out of those two? 🥲” [source](https://twitter.com/1645068136700596225/status/2096573931545366577)

- **Cursor (weaker)**. Cursor's AI support refuses refunds and human escalation, turning billing mistakes into repeated tickets that never reach a person.
  Users report auto-renewals charged for months of non-use, refunds that cancel the wrong plan, and an AI agent that asks for more money to restore access. Cursor leads requests to refund incorrect charges, with 16 author-weeks asking, and also leads asks for a human agent. Some Cursor posts defend bans as terms and sanctions enforcement, but the support handling draws the anger.
  Evidence:
  - Complaint, Cursor, @cursor_ai, 2026-09-21: “@cursor_ai @bot @cursor_ai i paid $60 for pro+, but my ultra refund canceled my subscription. ai support told me to pay another $20 to restore pro. my original $60 remains unrefunded, and ai refuses human escalation. tickets: t-g4441 / t-g4771 could a human billing specialist help?” [source](https://twitter.com/1794381935177080833/status/2102055211262992601)
  - Complaint, Cursor, Trustpilot, 2026-09-24: “i paid for one month of cursor pro and forgot to cancel. the subscription auto-renewed 5 times ($100 total, oct 2025 - feb 2026) while i never once used the product - something cursor can verify on their own backend. when i found the charges and asked for a refund, their ai support agent refused four times, dodged every request for human review, and even opened a new ticket (t-g11785) to replace my original one (t-g4140). my reference to california's auto-renewal law (ab 2863, which requires renewal notices i never received) was dismissed with 'we can't comment on legal claims.' the product itself may be good, but a company that hides behind an ai wall to keep $100 of unused subscription charges doesn't deserve blind trust. if you subscribe, watch your statements closely.” [source](https://www.trustpilot.com/reviews/6ab4df2872c9b0f813bab8de)
  - Complaint, Cursor, @cursor_ai, 2026-09-05: “@cursor_ai @bot @cursor_ai @bot ticket t-f19390: grok bot account linking has been broken for 1 week. xai oauth succeeds, but cursor fails after redirect. no human response or status update despite multiple follow-ups. please escalate this to the grok bot/accounts team.” [source](https://twitter.com/2096047734331777024/status/2096055223920087228)
  - Complaint, Cursor, r/cursor, 2026-09-27: “i paid for an annual subscription before they introduced the embargo. therefore, if they believe my activities no longer comply with their rules, they can terminate the contract and refund my money, but they haven't done that. moreover, they can't even prove that i violated anything, because i didn't violate a single thing. it’s highly convenient for cursor to act this way. next thing you know, they'll add a list of stop-words to their terms, and if you type something like 'to crack a bug' in a prompt, you'll instantly become a hacker and a drug dealer and maybe a insect abuser too, resulting in your account being unilaterally banned.” [source](https://www.reddit.com/r/cursor/comments/1wrn9ce/cursor_blocked_my_account_and_stole_my_money_with/pcee2fb/)

- **Google Antigravity (mixed)**. Antigravity users get blocked without reason, yet a visible team presence on Reddit gets accounts unblocked within hours.
  Ban fears run high, and Antigravity users drive many reinstatement and incident-status requests. Against that, a team member answers in the subreddit, confirms no training when telemetry is off, and helps unblock accounts directly. Users credit the engagement even when the issue persists. Trust in data handling stays split along views of the parent company.
  Evidence:
  - Complaint, Google Antigravity, r/google_antigravity, 2026-09-10: “update: i've just got the account unblocked \~11 hours after being blocked - coincidentally as i was writing to [u/sounddr](<strict_link>) who generously offered to help via dm” [source](https://www.reddit.com/r/google_antigravity/comments/1wbqdaj/account_disabled/p8v07r1/)
  - Praise, Google Antigravity, r/google_antigravity, 2026-09-16: “thanks! i really respect you engaging with the community here on behalf of google. even when the issue persist, you still let us know what’s going on with it (well, at least i ask and you reply, haha, thanks!). the ide button def should go, unnecessary piece of ui, really no point in it. i use zed anyway, since antigravity 2.0 is a dedicated harness now.” [source](https://www.reddit.com/r/google_antigravity/comments/1wh9uyh/antigravity_2_release_v2140/pa4imqk/)
  - Praise, Google Antigravity, r/google_antigravity, 2026-09-08: “confirmed with the team: when telemetry is disabled, we do not train on inputs/outputs.” [source](https://www.reddit.com/r/google_antigravity/comments/1wa6rcj/im_agy_clis_biggest_fanboy_but_i_have_to_quit_it/p8lzupe/)
  - Complaint, Google Antigravity, r/google_antigravity, 2026-09-02: “this is the same company that's been collecting users' data from private browsing sessions, what do you expect? ¯\\\_(ツ)\_/¯ honestly even if they claimed zdr on the front page, i'm sure they'd still find a loophole.” [source](https://www.reddit.com/r/google_antigravity/comments/1w48616/is_antigravity_using_prompts_and_data_for_model/p7do70r/)

### Fine print

- Complaints vastly outnumber praise for nearly every agent here, so customer love compares agents to each other, not to satisfaction.
- Several agents have too few posts to rank, and three Kiro praise posts are verbatim duplicates.
- Posts cover roughly one month, so a single incident or ban wave can dominate an agent's picture.

## Top requests

What users ask to add or change, most asked first. 817 author-weeks ask for something. Requests do not change the Feedback Score. Rule: A separate pass by Claude Sonnet 5 reads every counted post and extracts what the author asks the agent or its vendor to add or change, with the criteria it maps to and a short normalised wording; it does not touch the labels or the Feedback Score. Claude Opus 5.5 groups the wordings within each criterion (the first criterion the request maps to) into themes; code counts them. A theme counts distinct author-weeks that ask for it, per agent; across agents, one author-week per agent. Themes asked in fewer than 2 author-weeks, and requests that share no theme, are not shown. Examples: up to 3 posts per theme from different authors, without slurs, preferring posts of 60 to 450 characters, most recent first.

### GitHub Copilot

- Praise, 2026-09-25, r/ClaudeAI (Reddit): “claude team/enterprise plans do not train on your data, free plans and single user plans do unless you go in and turn it off. copilot paid subscriptions in an ms tenant, all data remains in your tenant and there is no external training on data entered.” [source](https://www.reddit.com/r/ClaudeAI/comments/1wq2hsf/claude_in_enterprise/pc0w1cz/)
- Praise, 2026-09-25, r/ClaudeAI (Reddit): “this is a pro of copilot paid in an ms tenant, the basics are there, yes, you can pay more for agent controls and such, but at least with paid copilot the data is in your tenant so to speak and for most people, its integration just works and makes it easy, vs people having to open claude, or install the claude office addons” [source](https://www.reddit.com/r/ClaudeAI/comments/1wq2hsf/claude_in_enterprise/pc0wesd/)

- Complaint, 2026-09-27, r/artificial (Reddit): “true, and at work it's not even your choice, your employer signed for copilot. that's kind of the point though: your work mail is your employer's. your whatsapp with your dad, your photos, your doctor's texts are not, and that's what muse and instinct are asking for. i'm fine with the office being surveilled by microsoft, i'm not fine extending that to the rest of my life just because it's "kinda expected" now.” [source](https://www.reddit.com/r/artificial/comments/1wquwvv/34_million_people_just_handed_meta_an_agent_with/pceueh4/)

- Praise, 2026-09-25, r/PiCodingAgent (Reddit): “hello, i made pi-claude-request-compat ([<strict_link>). instead of creating another provider, it reuses pi’s existing anthropic login, models, and streaming, then adds a claude code compatibility layer to outgoing requests. [<strict_link> i’m using a new github account for privacy, so the code, automated security scans, dependency audits, and signed release provenance are public for anyone to check. a few friends and i have been using it for the last month, and my anthropic account is still intact :)” [source](https://www.reddit.com/r/PiCodingAgent/comments/1wpyjrs/yet_another_pi_addon_claude_code_compatibility/)
- Praise, 2026-09-23, r/PiCodingAgent (Reddit): “i don’t know what you consider a “proper gpu” but mine can handle multiple requests with 32k+ contexts. i value local/privacy over convenience especially since every call to anthropic or openai motivates them to buy more hardware which raises prices for regular consumers wanting to game, or do ai locally. i’ll just stick to pi-subagents until your extension proves itself. clearly you’re not focused locally.” [source](https://www.reddit.com/r/PiCodingAgent/comments/1woif1b/i_built_pi_herdsman_for_async_subagents_with/pbnszlp/)

- Complaint, 2026-09-25, r/PiCodingAgent (Reddit): “yep, it’s closed source, i’m comparing the requests the installed cli constructs, not using its source code. the addon reproduces the observed headers, metadata, billing/checksum fields, and tool naming. that said, “completely indistinguishable” was overstating it. matching those fields doesn’t prove anthropic can’t distinguish the clients or enforce restrictions. the account risk is still real.” [source](https://www.reddit.com/r/PiCodingAgent/comments/1wpyjrs/yet_another_pi_addon_claude_code_compatibility/pc07p64/)
- Complaint, 2026-09-25, r/PiCodingAgent (Reddit): “i’m fairly suspicious of anthropic being able to detect most integrations that allow claude in the drivers seat on pi. i have too much important shit on chat to treat it like a burner account. i personally only do claude subagents on pi via headless since anthropic somewhat sanctions that behavior. if i need claude to drive, i just use claude code for now. pi will proxy to claude code just fine.” [source](https://www.reddit.com/r/PiCodingAgent/comments/1wq1bv2/whats_the_best_option_for_using_anthropic/pc0bxyh/)
