What's Wrong?
Claude Pro gift subscription was successfully redeemed and invoice shows as Paid, but the account is permanently stuck on Free plan.
- Receipt: 2892-6172-3806
- Invoice: N5PFNGHQ-0001
- Gift code: 837a9917-a455-4fb6-abb1-ec8e5084d4bf (shows “Gift already redeemed”)
- Period: April 10 – May 10, 2026
Tried all troubleshooting: full logouts, cookie/site data clear, incognito, different browsers, mobile app — still Free everywhere.
This started after the mid-April Partial Outage. Fin AI Agent confirms the facts but cannot escalate or manually activate. This matches many similar reports (#48231, #47284, #45335, #46378 etc.).

What Should Happen?
The account should be upgraded to Pro plan for the full gifted period (until May 10, 2026) immediately after successful redemption and paid invoice.
