When it happened?
When switched an existing chat with Opus 4.7 1M to Sonnet 4.6 and the context was more than 200k. After that I applied multiple steps to overcome this issue for example,

  1. I tried to reopen the app,
  2. created new chat session, changed model
  3. clicked on upgrade and bought $5 credit (even if extra usage credit balance worth $140 is already there)
  4. Uninstalled the Claude Code app and reinstalled again.

None of the above steps worked and now, it is not allowing me to use Claude Code at all.

What Should Happen?

It should have gracefully allowed switching to the model with lower context. Or at least it should have allowed to create new session and use it in regular way.
