Frequent 403 "Request not allowed" errors despite Max subscription
## Issue Description
I am experiencing frequent and intermittent 403 errors ("Request not allowed") while using Claude Code, despite having an active Max subscription - the highest tier available.
## Environment
- Claude Code version: 1.0.22
- Platform: macOS Darwin 24.5.0
- Subscription: Max plan (highest tier)
- Issue frequency: Intermittent, no clear pattern
## Expected Behavior
As a paying Max subscriber, I expect stable and uninterrupted access to Claude Code services.
## Actual Behavior
Getting random 403 errors with message:
API Error: 403 {"error":{"type":"forbidden","message":"Request not allowed"}}
## Impact
This issue severely impacts my productivity and user experience. As someone who has invested in the most expensive subscription tier, I find this unacceptable and expect premium service quality.
## Steps Taken
- Verified subscription is active
- Successfully logged in via OAuth
- Cleared cache
- Checked network connectivity
The intermittent nature suggests this is not a client-side issue but rather a service reliability problem.
Please prioritize fixing this issue for Max tier subscribers.
