I don't see any evidence of that, the current, live page clearly states:

> Model access: When using a Pro plan with Claude Code, you will only be able to use Opus models after enabling and purchasing extra usage.

And your extremely slow loading archive link is just the same page with the same text.

The live page - last edited 15 minutes after your comment - no longer has that passage.

Thank-you for posting this update. EDIT: However purchasing extra-usage for Pro/Max accounts is a new feature.
It's been a feature on the Max accounts for a while now.
I've had an extra-usage quota for months now. They even gave people free credits for that some time ago.

It's useful once in a while when you're like 90% done, run out of usage and the next refresh is hours away. Then you can push that feature to completion and swap to another model that's not on cooldown.

Their vibe-coded "documentation" sucks so much…
I thought documentation is a solved problem and you can just have an agent keep all your docs up-to-date. /s
You have one agent write the code, a separate one to do the docs, a third to harmonise them.

After a few weeks they'll settle on the documentation for raised garden bed and the implementation of a home defence sprinkler system.

All while leaving you with a $10,000 bill at the end of the month.

Ain't life grand.
