What's Wrong?

My Claude Pro Gift subscription (Invoice F6PAUVTX-0001) was redeemed on April 6, 2026 and should be valid until May 6, 2026. After 7 days, on April 13, my account was automatically downgraded to Free plan with no notification.

  • Invoice shows: $0.00 Paid, period April 6 – May 6, 2026
  • Settings > Billing shows: Free plan, only "Upgrade plan" button (no "Resubscribe")
  • This appears to be the same Stripe proration bug reported in #44163 and #41499, where gift subscriptions using 100% off coupons get auto-canceled

Fin AI Agent support loop was unable to resolve this and refused to escalate to a human agent.

What Should Happen?

Gift Pro subscription should remain active for the full duration (until May 6, 2026). Account should show Pro plan, not Free.

I understand this may not be a Claude Code issue directly, but this is a billing/subscription bug affecting claude.ai accounts. Fin AI Agent support was unable to escalate. Related issues: #44163 and #41499. Please route to the billing team.

👎 Not closing — adding upvote to #47284 as related. This is a widespread billing bug affecting gift subscriptions.

@manhhau449-design Same issue here — support isn’t responding and just auto-closes tickets. I even tried reaching out on Twitter, but got no reply.

I already linked this to #47284 and it's a Stripe proration bug. Will mark it as a 👍 on the main issue.

this happened to me too is there any notification from Antrophic??

manhhau449-design · 4 months ago

@whdtjr No official response yet. Tracking here and in #47284.
@arievedetsie1-ai Yes, slot is open! The core issue is Stripe proration logic destroying gift subscription when 100% coupon is applied. Related: #44163, #41499, #47284, #47961.
