What's Wrong?

Every time I send a prompt using cluade code I get hit with this in response:

 API Error: 400 {"type":"error","error":{"type":"invalid_request_error","message":"Third-party apps now draw from your extra usage, not your plan limits. We've added a $100 credit to get you started. Claim it at claude.ai/settings/usage and 
    keep going."},"request_id":"req_011CZqfnrANqK3XgQUkTj9gv"}
`

### What Should Happen?

Claude accepts my prompt and continues with the task at hand.
