Use Your Claude and Codex Subscriptions

If you already pay for Claude or ChatGPT, you can connect that subscription to Type. Supported requests then run through your subscription, much like they would in a local environment, and they don’t draw down the workspace’s AI usage allowance. It’s the most effective way to manage AI costs in Type.

A connected subscription is personal: it belongs to your account and applies to agent turns you trigger and automations you create. When an integration or teammate triggers your automation, Type still checks your subscription first and keeps that ownership through AI-to-AI handoffs. The Space supplies the shared computer, connections, skills, memory, threads, and Library around the work.

Both connections live in the same place: open Settings → Account and find Use your own coding subscriptions.

Connect Claude

1. Open Settings → Account → Use your own coding subscriptions.
2. On the Claude subscription card, select Connect.
3. Select Continue with Claude. A Claude sign-in page opens in a new tab.
4. Sign in and approve the connection. Claude shows you a one-time code. Only enter it in Type, and don’t share it.
5. Return to Type, paste the code into One-time code, and select Submit.

When the dialog confirms the connection, new Claude agent turns will use your Claude subscription.

Connect Codex

Codex uses a device code instead of a sign-in redirect:

1. Open Settings → Account → Use your own coding subscriptions.
2. On the Codex subscription card, select Connect.
3. Select Security settings and enable device code authorization in your ChatGPT security settings.
4. Copy the one-time device code Type shows you. It’s shown only once, so don’t share it.
5. Select Verification page, paste the code, and approve the connection.

When the dialog confirms the connection, new Codex agent turns will use your ChatGPT subscription.

What happens at your subscription’s usage limit

Provider subscriptions have their own usage limits. If your connected subscription hits its limit, the current request stops and Type offers to switch you to workspace credits. The two providers behave differently from there:

• Claude: accepting pauses your subscription until the provider’s limit resets (the subscription card shows when). Type switches back to your subscription automatically after the reset, and you can retry the interrupted request on workspace credits in the meantime.
• Codex: accepting disconnects your ChatGPT subscription, and Type doesn’t reconnect it automatically. Reconnect it from settings once your limit resets.

While you’re on workspace credits, the normal workspace allowance rules apply, including its own limits.

Manage or disconnect

From the same settings section you can:

• Update a connection by running the connect flow again.
• Disconnect with the trash icon on the card. After disconnecting, your requests bill against the workspace allowance again.

What’s covered

• Each person connects their own subscription. A teammate’s ordinary requests aren’t covered by yours. Automations use their creator’s subscription, even when an integration or another teammate triggers the run.
• Codex Fast requires a connected ChatGPT subscription and consumes the provider’s Fast credits.
• Not every request type is eligible to run through a subscription. Requests that aren’t eligible bill against the workspace allowance as usual.

Workspace admins can open Settings → Usage → Cost to see who has Claude or Codex connected, which eligible runs used a personal subscription, and why other eligible runs used Type credits. Type cannot show the provider’s remaining subscription quota.
