Description
On a Max plan ($200/month), attempting to use opus[1m] is rejected with:
Opus 4.6 with 1M context is not available for your account.
Learn more: https://code.claude.com/docs/en/model-config#extended-context-with-1m
The linked documentation explicitly states:
On Max, Team, and Enterprise plans, Opus is automatically upgraded to 1M context with no additional configuration.
This is different from #23432
Issue #23432 reports /context displaying 200k instead of 1M (a display/statusline bug). This issue is about the system actively denying 1M access at the account entitlement level. The error message confirms the account is not recognized as having 1M access — it's not just a display problem.
Steps to reproduce
- Be on a Max plan ($200/month)
- Open Claude Code
- Run
/model opus[1m] - Observe: "Opus 4.6 with 1M context is not available for your account"
Expected behavior
1M context should be available — per the documentation, Max plan includes it with no additional configuration.
Environment
- Claude Code v2.1.97
- macOS Darwin 25.3.0
- Model: claude-opus-4-6
- Plan: Max ($200/month)
Additional context
/model opusworks fine (but gives 200k context per #23432)/contextshows46.5k/200k tokens— confirming the 200k cap from #23432- No
CLAUDE_CODE_BLOCKING_LIMIT_OVERRIDEenv var set CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_1M_CONTEXTis NOT set- The documentation says "If you don't see it, try restarting your session" — restarting does not help
