What's Wrong?

My Claude Max 5x Gift subscription was silently canceled on April 16, 2026 — no user action, no notification.

Account email: urasav12061997@gmail.com
Plan: Claude Max 5x Gift – 1 Month
Activation date: April 5, 2026
Expected end date: May 5, 2026
Date reverted to Free: April 16, 2026

Receipt: Invoice 4RZZZAVR-0001, Receipt 2033-3519-3567

Approximately 66% of the subscription period was cut off. Settings → Billing now shows Free plan.

This is a known systemic issue:

  • #48516 — same bug, comments closed
  • #45335 — Max gift auto-canceled after ~1 week
  • #44163 — Gift Pro auto-canceled

Please escalate to a human specialist, not an AI agent.

What Should Happen?

The subscription should remain active until May 5, 2026. The downgrade was not initiated by me — this is a backend error on Anthropic's side.
