Description
Claude Code v2.1.63 on macOS shows "Opus 4.6 · Claude API" in the header instead of "Claude Max", even though I'm on the Max plan. Additionally, claude remote-control returns:
Error: Remote Control is not yet enabled for your account.
Steps to Reproduce
- Run
/logoutinside Claude Code - Run
claude /login— OAuth flow completes successfully - Header still shows "Opus 4.6 · Claude API" instead of "Claude Max"
- Run
claude remote-control— returns error above
Environment
- Claude Code version: 2.1.63
- OS: macOS (Darwin 25.3.0)
- Account: agadrob88@gmail.com (Max plan subscriber)
- Auth method: OAuth login (no ANTHROPIC_API_KEY set)
/feedbackcommand also fails with "Error submitting feedback / bug report" (tried multiple times)
Expected Behavior
- Header should show "Claude Max"
claude remote-controlshould work for Max plan subscribers/feedbackshould submit successfully
Suspected Cause
Max plan entitlement doesn't appear to be recognized by Claude Code. The OAuth login succeeds but the account is treated as a standard API account rather than a Max subscriber.
