What's Wrong?

What's Wrong:

Plan: Claude Max 20x ($200/month)
Claude Code version: v2.0.76
OS: macOS
Current session usage: 10%, Extra Usage balance: $0.00
Every CLI command (including claude --version, claude logout, claude config) returns API Error: 400 "You're out of extra usage"
CLI is completely unusable despite plan limits not being reached

Steps to reproduce:

Have Max 20x plan with Extra Usage balance at $0.00
Run any claude command
Get "You're out of extra usage" error regardless of actual plan usage

What Should Happen?

CLI should use plan quota (currently 10% used), not require Extra Usage credits. Web interface works normally with the same account.
