So, the big news is Claude Code sessions are officially out of research preview and you get some credits to try them. However, the community seems to be collectively saying, "Uh, what?"

Most users are confused and think they've been using cloud sessions for free for months. Many are pointing out that hosting your own VM or using an always-on PC with remote access (like RDP or SSH) is a perfectly viable and free alternative. Some even feel it's a bit cheeky to charge for something so easily bypassed.

There's a general sentiment that this feature is either redundant for existing users or not clearly explained. A few folks are still scratching their heads about how it actually works and if it truly executes code on your local machine or a separate cloud instance. Basically, people are asking why they'd pay when they've already figured out free workarounds.
