What's Wrong?
Description:
After successfully enabling /extra-usage, attempting to switch to Opus fails with an error incorrectly stating
that extra-usage needs to be turned on.
Environment:
- Claude Code version: 2.0.54
- Platform: macOS (Darwin 25.1.0)
- Plan: Claude Pro with /extra-usage enabled
Steps to reproduce:
- Run /extra-usage → Response: "Login successful"
- Run /model opus or /model claude-opus-4-5-20250514
- Error received: "Your Pro plan doesn't include Opus in Claude Code. Turn on /extra-usage or /upgrade to Max
to access it."
- Restart Claude Code completely
- Run /extra-usage again → Still shows "Login successful"
- Try /model opus again → Same error
What Should Happen?
Expected behaviour:
Should successfully switch to Opus model with pay-as-you-go billing.
Actual behaviour:
Model switch fails despite extra-usage being enabled and authenticated.
