Bug

Claude Code status line displays "Claude Pro" even when the account is on the Max plan.

Evidence

claude auth status returns "subscriptionType": "pro" for a Max subscriber
Billing page at claude.ai/settings confirms Max plan ("5x more usage than Pro")
Claude Code settings page confirms full Max-tier token permissions (user:mcp_servers, user:sessions:claude_code, etc.)

Expected

Status line should display "Claude Max" for Max subscribers.

Actual

▐▛███▜▌   Claude Code v2.1.79
▝▜█████▛▘  Opus 4.6 with high effort · Claude Pro
  ▘▘ ▝▝

Root cause

The API endpoint that returns subscription info appears to report "pro" for both Pro and Max tiers, and Claude Code displays this value without distinguishing between them.

Environment

Claude Code v2.1.79
Windows 10
Max plan (SGD 120.22/month)
