[BUG] Pro subscription not recognized - "There's an issue with the selected model" for all models on Windows

What's Wrong?
Claude Code does not work with any model when authenticated with a Claude Pro subscription.
Every model (Sonnet 4.6, Opus 4.7, Haiku) returns the same error.
The web interface at claude.ai works perfectly fine with the same account.
What Should Happen?
Claude Code should recognize the active Claude Pro subscription and allow
using the included models without errors.

Additional Information
Account email: ander.jbc115@gmail.com
Plan: Claude Pro ($20/month)
The dashboard shows "API Usage Billing" instead of recognizing the Pro subscription.
Re-authentication and full config deletion did not resolve the issue.
My Claude Pro subscription started yesterday (April 22, 2026) and
Claude Code has never worked even once. This is my first day trying
to use it and it's already broken. Very disappointing experience for
a brand new paying customer.
