Remote Control unavailable on Max plan — tengu_ccr_bridge flag is false
Resolved 💬 4 comments Opened Mar 19, 2026 by taylor947 Closed Apr 18, 2026
Description
Remote Control returns "not yet enabled for your account" on a Max ($100/mo) plan despite the official docs stating it is "available on all plans" including Pro and Max.
Environment
- Claude Code version: 2.1.79
- OS: macOS Darwin 25.3.0 (Mac Mini M1)
- Auth method: OAuth (firstParty)
- Plan: Max ($100/mo, Stripe subscription)
- Account email: taylor@bbhgroup.com (org admin)
Error Message
Error: Remote Control is not yet enabled for your account.
Root Cause Identified
The cachedGrowthBookFeatures in ~/.claude.json shows:
"tengu_ccr_bridge": false
This flag is evaluated server-side and cannot be overridden locally.
What I've Tried
- Updated Claude Code from 2.1.62 to 2.1.79
- Cleared entire
~/.claude/statsig/directory (cache was frozen since Feb 4) - Cleared
~/.claude/stats-cache.json - Full
claude auth logout+claude auth logincycle (twice) - Verified no blocking env vars (
CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_NONESSENTIAL_TRAFFIC,DISABLE_TELEMETRY,ANTHROPIC_API_KEY— none set) - Verified no blocking env vars in
~/.claude/settings.json - Verified OAuth account metadata shows valid subscription (
billingType: stripe_subscription,organizationRole: admin)
None of these resolved the issue. The flag remains false after fresh auth + cache clear.
Additional Context
This appears to be the same server-side entitlement sync issue reported in #28098, #29192, and #33119. The account has a valid Max subscription but the GrowthBook feature flag has never been set to true for this account.
