 ## Can I use my Claude Pro or Max subscription with Codebuff?
 
-Yes! If you have a Claude Pro or Max subscription, you can connect it to Codebuff with the command `/connect:claude`. Codebuff will use your subscription for Claude model requests, saving you credits.
+UPDATE: Connecting to your Claude subscription is deprecated in Codebuff and will be removed on March 1st.
 
-Note: Using your Claude Pro/Max subscription in Codebuff is not officially supported by Anthropic.
+We had reports of at least one user having their Anthropic account disabled after heavy usage via Codebuff.
+
+We recommend switching to a [Codebuff Strong subscription](/subscription) as an alternative — it includes generous usage limits across all models without needing to connect external subscriptions.
 
 ## Is Codebuff open source?
