Preflight Checklist

  • [x] I have searched existing issues and this hasn't been reported yet
  • [x] This is a single bug report (please file separate reports for different bugs)
  • [x] I am using the latest version of Claude Code

What's Wrong?

Claude Code recognizes my Max plan and confirms "Login successful," but every request fails with:
"Your account does not have access to Claude Code. Please run /login."

Running /login repeatedly shows "Login successful" each time, but the next message fails with the same error. This appears to be the same backend entitlement bug as issue #47130.

What Should Happen?

Claude Code should process my requests normally using my active Max plan, the same way Claude.ai web chat does. Login status and request authorization should be consistent — if login shows "successful" with an active Max subscription, requests should not be rejected with an access error.

Error Messages/Logs

Your account does not have access to Claude Code. Please run /login.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Open Claude Code in desktop app
  2. Send any message (e.g., "hi")
  3. Error: "Your account does not have access to Claude Code. Please run /login."
  4. Run /login → shows "Login successful"
  5. Send another message → same error repeats indefinitely
