[FEATURE] Switch back from API to Subscription within a session
Preflight Checklist
- [x] I have searched existing requests and this feature hasn't been requested yet
- [x] This is a single feature request (not multiple features)
Problem Statement
When I run out of credits for my subscription, it offers me to change to API, why is this not
possible the other way around, without leaving the session?
Claude told me:
"It's a deliberate asymmetry — the subscription→API switch is a fallback built specifically for "don't
interrupt the user's work when credits run out." The reverse direction (API→subscription) isn't a
fallback scenario, so it was never built as an in-session option.
There's no workaround currently. You'd need to /logout and restart. If this is a friction point worth
flagging, the GitHub issues page is the right place"
Proposed Solution
Introduce a way to change from API to subscription within a session.
