Max plan: opus[1m] not available, Default shows Sonnet instead of Opus
Resolved 💬 3 comments Opened Apr 2, 2026 by eibrahimov Closed Apr 6, 2026
Bug Description
On a confirmed Max 20x plan, opus[1m] is not available and the /model picker does not show any 1M context options. Additionally, the Default (recommended) model shows Sonnet 4.6 instead of Opus 4.6, which suggests Claude Code is not recognizing the Max plan entitlements.
Expected Behavior
- Default (recommended) should be Opus 4.6 (per docs: "Max and Team Premium: defaults to Opus 4.6")
opus[1m]andsonnet[1m]should appear in the/modelpicker/model opus[1m]should work (1M context is included with Max subscription per docs)
Actual Behavior
/model opus[1m]returns: "Opus 4.6 with 1M context is not available for your account"- Default (recommended) = Sonnet 4.6 (Pro-tier behavior)
- No 1M options visible in
/modelpicker at all - Only 3 options shown: Default (Sonnet 4.6), Opus, Haiku
Environment
- Claude Code version: 2.1.90 (latest)
- Platform: macOS (Darwin 25.3.0)
- Auth: CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN
- Plan: Max 20x ($200/month, confirmed in claude.ai settings)
- CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_1M_CONTEXT: not set
Steps to Reproduce
- Have a Max 20x plan (confirmed at claude.ai/settings/billing)
- Run
claude(v2.1.90) - Run
/model opus[1m]→ error - Open
/modelpicker → no 1M options shown - Check
/status→ Default = Sonnet 4.6
Attempted Fixes
claude update— already on latest (2.1.90)/upgrade(re-authentication) — no change- Verified
CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_1M_CONTEXTis not set - Restarted session — no change
