What's Wrong?

Had remaining usage on pro plan, but wanted to upgraded to MAX to ensure i meet a deadline. Despite having usage left on pro and not hit limit yet, was forward thinking and upgraded, but it immediately after upgrading set limits forcing me to use prepay to continue in time. Its a f joke. Couldnt be a worse troll. So now im buring even more cash to use prepay to meet deadline even though i upgraded from paying £18 to £112 just to meet this deadline, and now burning through prepay fast adding £s on top significantly. Absolute disgusting and irresponsible bug causing significant financial liability.

What Should Happen?

It should RAISE my limits, not erase the limit i had left.

Steps to Reproduce

Just use pro, then while you have say 50% usage left on session and weekly, just upgrade to MAX on android app, then your pc claude will block you from using it while setup to take your money later.

You can see it lying about when you get your reset meaning i have zero certainty it will be reset at 9am or 6am, which is in the past. Two different stories, i would have to assume both lies, and continue burning prepay to meet deadline. After this so done with this trash.
