What's Wrong?

I got a $50 as some kind of promo, but i have to add $50 from my own money so the system allows me to use $50, i'm certain you guys can code the system better than this.

its like if they want me to forget about the usage, and use my $50, or even worst add unlimted amount.

i really appreciate claude, and truly think is great for humanity to have it, i also know you guys want money, to build servers and else, but lets be cool to each other. you could f someone up, by doing this.

thanks, please fix it.

What Should Happen?

you should be able to use the promo money without having to add extra usage for your account.
