What's Wrong?

Summary

$50 Opus 4.6 promotional credit disappeared after switching subscription
from Google Play to web billing. Same billing bug as #23674 and #25586.

Timeline

  • Claimed $50 Extra Usage promo credit before Feb 16 deadline (while on Google Play Pro subscription)
  • Used approximately $10–14 of the credit
  • Feb 27–28: switched subscription from Google Play (mobile) to web billing, let mobile subscription expire
  • After the switch: remaining ~$36–40 credit shows $0.00

Expected vs Actual

  • Expected: ~$36–40 remaining credit preserved after subscription change
  • Actual: balance shows $0.00
