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