Anthropic has discontinued bundled token allocations in its seat-based enterprise pricing, consolidating multiple seat types (Chat-only, Standard, Premium) into a single Enterprise seat at contract renewal. The revision, documented on Anthropic's support page (last updated April 7, 2026), reflects the company's adjustment to soaring demand for Claude that has outpaced capacity, prompting rate limit and terms-of-service changes.
