Claude Code shows "Claude API" instead of "Claude Max" — Remote Control unavailable

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

  1. Run /logout inside Claude Code
  2. Run claude /login — OAuth flow completes successfully
  3. Header still shows "Opus 4.6 · Claude API" instead of "Claude Max"
  4. 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)
  • /feedback command also fails with "Error submitting feedback / bug report" (tried multiple times)

Expected Behavior

  • Header should show "Claude Max"
  • claude remote-control should work for Max plan subscribers
  • /feedback should 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.
