Claude CodeClaude Code 2.1.319 adds a warning when a claude.ai login ends and Claude Code continues on the sign-in from ant auth login, which bills usage to the user's Claude Console organization. It also prints a startup line naming the billed organization.
Key Takeaways
- A warning now fires when a claude.ai login ends and the
ant auth loginsign-in takes over. - Usage in that case is billed to the Claude Console organization.
- A startup line names the billed organization.
- The fallback to the
ant auth logincredential is the trigger. - Spend moves from a subscription to an organization account, which the warning makes visible.
- The startup line's behavior when the claude.ai login is still active is not stated.
A Billing Warning
Claude Code 2.1.319 adds a warning for a specific case. When a claude.ai login ends and Claude Code continues on the sign-in from ant auth login, usage is billed to the user's Claude Console organization. The new warning tells the user that has happened.
A Startup Line
In the same case, Claude Code now prints a line at startup naming the Claude Console organization that is billed. The release notes do not say whether the line appears when the claude.ai login is still active.
Why It Matters
Falling through to a different credential moves spend from a subscription to an organization account. The warning and the named organization make that switch visible.
