I purchased a Max subscription with the expectation of accessing Claude Code through it. Unfortunately, I'm unable to find any way to connect Claude Code to my Max account.

What happens when you run /login and choose the second option?
^ feel free to re-open if
/logindoesn't do the trickI'm again redirected to login for API usage, I have no option to login with my Max account. I tried:
I'm always offered just one option to login with API.
I tried to contact customer support and it was a terrible experience. Some chatbot tried to help me and after that it told me someone would contact me, but it hasn't happened yet...
Maybe your version of
claude-codeis outdated, I get offered the MAX subscription option with0.2.106, but not with0.2.94. Both of those versions are the ones from nixpkgs.!Image
I finally managed to successfully log in with Max plan.
The issue was that I had four versions of Node.js installed on my machine. The different versions were somehow conflicting or mixed up, which led to my login issue.
Thank you everyone for help!
