What's Wrong?
Every model returns "There's an issue with the selected model. It may not
exist or you may not have access to it." Login succeeds but all messages fail.
Tried: Sonnet 4.6, Opus 4.6, Haiku 4.5 — all fail with model_not_found 404.
Claude Code works fine in the Claude desktop app but not in the CLI.
What Should Happen?
Claude Code CLI should accept messages and respond normally after
logging in with an active Pro subscription.
Error Messages/Logs
There's an issue with the selected model (claude-sonnet-4-6). It may not
exist or you may not have access to it. Run /model to pick a different model.
Error type: model_not_found
API status: 404
Same error occurs for all models:
- claude-sonnet-4-6
- claude-opus-4-6
- claude-haiku-4-5-20251001
Steps to Reproduce
- Fresh login/logout multiple times
- Cleared credentials, settings, .claude.json
- Reinstalled Claude Code
- Removed ANTHROPIC_API_KEY environment variable
- Tried multiple model versions
hasAvailableSubscription shows false in .claude.json despite active paid subscription.
