Bug Description

claude remote-control fails with a 403 error on a Max 5x subscription. This was working previously (earlier this week) and stopped working today without any configuration changes.

Error Message

Error: Registration: Access denied (403): Request not allowed. Check your organization permissions.

Environment

  • Claude Code version: 2.1.76
  • OS: macOS (Darwin 22.6.0)
  • Plan: Max 5x (personal, not Team/Enterprise)
  • Auth: logged in via /login (claude.ai)

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Run claude remote-control or use /remote-control inside a session
  2. Immediately fails with 403

Expected Behavior

Remote Control session should start successfully, as it did previously on the same plan and configuration.

Notes

  • /login session is active and valid
  • Regular Claude Code sessions work fine
  • No organization/team restrictions — this is a personal Max 5x account
  • Network proxy is configured and working (GitHub, API calls all succeed)
  • Relogging (/logout + /login) does not resolve the issue
