What's Wrong?

Extra usage settings look correct: In https://claude.ai/settings/usage :

  • The "allow extra usage" is enabled
  • "€0.00 spent Resets May 1"
  • "€17.00 - Current balance"

Yet despite this, I get this API error 400 "Third party apps now draw from your extra usage"

I tried restarting Claude Code , also log out and log in to Claude Code, but nothing works. Waited about 10 min since the extra limits enabled in Claude web.

What Should Happen?

Claude Code should allow usage since the limits are ok
