What's Wrong?

I redeemed a gift Pro subscription on April 3, 2026. My billing page shows a $0.00 Paid invoice confirming the redemption, but my account still displays "Free plan". When I try to authenticate Claude Code (VS Code extension), the browser shows: "Claude Max or Pro is required to connect to Claude Code".

What Should Happen?

My account should show Pro plan and Claude Code should authenticate successfully using my gift subscription.
