## Summary

Anthropic releases Claude Code v2.1.316 with pooled group budgets for the Claude apps gateway, which add a shared monthly budget on top of each member's own limit. The release deprecates fast mode for Opus 4.8 as of October 30, 2026, and removes it on November 30, 2026, after which those requests return an error instead of falling back to standard Opus 4.8.
