Cloud sessions are officially available and out of research preview! They let you keep Claude Code working, even when your laptop is closed. Existing subscribers get a one-time credit to try them: $100 on Pro, $250 on Max.

Cloud sessions run on Anthropic-hosted infrastructure, so the work keeps going even without your computer running. Start one at https://t.co/scIJefCE5h, from the Code tab in the Claude mobile app, from the desktop app, or with claude --cloud in the CLI.

The credit is separate from your usage limits, and it applies automatically once you start a cloud session. If you hit a limit locally, keep going in the cloud until your credit runs out. One credit per account, for cloud sessions only.

Follow the link below to claim the credit or run /claim-credit in the CLI. You’ll need GitHub connected to start a session. Claim by Oct 7. Terms apply. https://t.co/TzoO6fzJHB

Key takeaways · AI-distilled
  • Cloud sessions run on Anthropic-hosted infrastructure, so work continues with your computer off. Start one on the web, from the Code tab in the Claude mobile app, from the desktop app, or with claude --cloud in the CLI; a connected GitHub account is required.
  • Existing Pro subscribers get a one-time $100 credit and Max subscribers $250, claimed via a link or /claim-credit in the CLI by Oct 7; it is one credit per account and applies only to cloud sessions.
  • Cloud sessions draw on your Pro or Max plan like the rest of Claude Code; the promo credit is spent first and sits outside usage limits, so after hitting a local limit you can keep working in the cloud until the credit runs out.
