What's Wrong?
Running claude rc returns: "Error: Remote Control is not yet enabled for your account."
Claude Code version: 2.1.68
Plan: Claude Pro (claude.ai subscription, not API key)
OS: Windows 11
Steps tried:
- claude auth logout + claude auth login
- Tested from project directory
- Confirmed login shows "Sonnet 4.6 · Claude Pro"
Please enable Remote Control for my account.
What Should Happen?
Running claude rc should start a Remote Control session,
display a session URL and QR code in the terminal,
and allow connecting from the Claude mobile app or claude.ai/code.
As documented at: https://code.claude.com/docs/en/remote-control
Remote Control is listed as available for Pro and Max plans.
