I think Claude Code also already has the option to provide an API key directly for usage based pricing.
I'm a fan of having both a subscription and a usage based plan available. The subscription is effectively a built in spending limit. If I regularly hit it and need more value, I can switch to an API key for unlimited usage.
The downside is you are potentially paying for something you don't use, but that is the same for all subscription services.
