I am experiencing same

Civiliangem0 · 1 year ago

same here

edit: okay guys this might sound stupid but my problem was that my Claude subscription ran out, after paying the error disappeared lol

What a very helpful error message. It should have said "Your credentials no longer align with the principles of free-market capitalism". Which would mean that your subscription has expired.

There's a ton of "duplicated" but Anthropic doesn't seem to care that this is happening.

This can be solved by executing /login in cc

This can be solved by executing /login in cc

yup /logout and /login via claude console did it.
