What's Wrong?

What's Wrong?

There is a currency inconsistency between Claude Code in the terminal and the web interface.

For my account/region, the web interface correctly shows extra usage in euros (). However, the terminal shows the same extra usage in US dollars ($).

This is not just a general localization preference. The correct currency is already known and used in the web interface, but the terminal does not follow it.

That issue appears broader and was closed, but this report is specifically about the mismatch between the terminal and the web interface for the same account/billing context.

If the web interface shows , then the terminal should also show .

Why This Matters

This creates confusion because two official surfaces show different currencies for the same usage/billing information.

It makes it unclear which value/currency should be trusted and suggests the terminal is not using the same account, locale, or billing currency source as the web interface.

What Should Happen?

The terminal should use the same currency as the web interface for extra usage.
