[Bug] 1M context window incorrectly shown as extra billable usage on Max plan

Resolved 💬 6 comments Opened Apr 2, 2026 by michaelsilva Closed May 22, 2026

Bug Description
⏺ Based on the research:

1M context is supposed to be included in your Max plan. This appears to be a known regression bug.

  • March 13: Anthropic announced 1M context included by default for Max/Team/Enterprise plans
  • March 20: Email confirmation sent — no extra usage required
  • Late March (~27-28): A regression in Claude Code's model selector started incorrectly showing 1M context as "billed as extra usage"

This is a display/billing bug, not an intentional change. You should not be charged extra for 1M context on the $200/month Max plan.

I'd recommend:

  1. Run /feedback in Claude Code and report the issue with a screenshot
  2. Reference GitHub issues #34790 and #40223 which track this regression
  3. Contact Anthropic support if it's actively blocking your work
