BYOK Claude Code

Operators who already pay for Claude Code Max can route LLM-heavy steps through their own Anthropic key. We skip the platform charge on those steps and apply a 30% discount on the monthly invoice.

What counts

The discount evaluation looks at script.generate steps over the trailing 30 days. To qualify:

• At least 20 script.generate steps in the window.
• At least 60% of them used your key (used_user_key = 1).

When both thresholds are met, subscriptions.byok_discount_percent flips to 30 and the next renewal invoice is discounted.

How to opt in per step

Add useUserKey: true to the step in your workflow YAML. Only BYOK-eligible actions honour the flag:

• script.generate (Anthropic)
• voice.generate (ElevenLabs)
• thumb.generate (Replicate / Flux)

Other actions silently ignore the flag.

Security

Keys are stored encrypted with AES-256-GCM via CHANNEL_TOKEN_SECRET. We never log the plaintext. The last 4 chars are the only thing visible in the UI.

Removing a key

Open Settings → Personal API keys, hit the trash icon. Workflow steps with useUserKey: true will fall back to the platform key on the next run (and start being charged again).
