Remote Control "not yet enabled for your account" on Max $200 plan with OAuth auth

Bug Description

Running claude rc (or claude remote-control) returns:

Error: Remote Control is not yet enabled for your account.

despite being subscribed to the Claude Max $200/month plan.

Environment

• Claude Code version: 2.1.71
• OS: macOS Darwin 25.1.0 arm64
• Auth method: oauth_token (firstParty) — NOT an API key
• Plan: Claude Max $200/month

Steps to Reproduce

1. Log in with claude login using OAuth (claude.ai account on Max $200 plan)
2. Run claude rc or claude remote-control
3. Observe error: Error: Remote Control is not yet enabled for your account.

What I've Already Tried

• Cleared Statsig cache (~/.claude/statsig/) — only statsig.stable_id.* remained after clearing
• Confirmed no DISABLE_NONESSENTIAL_TRAFFIC or DISABLE_TELEMETRY flags in ~/.claude/settings.json
• Confirmed auth method is oauth_token with apiProvider: firstParty (not an API key)
• Full claude logout + claude login cycle

None of these resolved the issue.

Expected Behavior

claude rc should start a Remote Control session, as Remote Control is documented as available to Max plan subscribers.
