README
pi-cc-patch
Use your Pro/Max subscription billing with pi instead of getting the "Third-party apps now draw from your extra usage" error.
What it does
The API classifier detects pi as a third-party app and blocks subscription billing. This extension patches the request payload to bypass it:
- Sanitizes trigger phrases from the system prompt
- Adds billing header for subscription rate-limit routing
- Strips prefix block that triggers detection
Scope: this patch only runs for Anthropic/Claude provider requests. Other providers are left unchanged.
No token swap, no SDK dependency, no proxy. Just a before_provider_request hook. Pi's built-in provider handles everything else — caching, token refresh, thinking, streaming, tool mapping.
Install
pi install git:github.com/picassio/pi-cc-patch
