What's Wrong?

Cowork fails with 403 "Request not allowed" every time a task is submitted. Regular Claude Desktop chat works perfectly on the same account.

What Should Happen?

Cowork should authenticate successfully and process tasks, just like regular chat does.

Error Messages/Logs

Failed to authenticate. API Error: 403 {"error":{"type":"forbidden","message":"Request not allowed"}}

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Log in to Claude Desktop with claude.ai account (OAuth)
  2. Open Cowork tab
  3. Submit any task
  4. Immediately get 403 "Request not allowed" error
