Status line shows 'Claude Pro' for Max subscribers

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)
