Remote Control entitlement lost after May 27-28 incident — `Error: Remote Control is not yet enabled for your account` on active Max subscription
Resolved 💬 3 comments Opened May 28, 2026 by agoodbear Closed Jul 2, 2026
Summary
Claude Code Remote Control was working on my account (Claude Max, OAuth) until 2026-05-28 ~16:00 Asia/Taipei. After the May 27-28 incident recovery window, all claude remote-control subcommand variants return:
Error: Remote Control is not yet enabled for your account.
The error is identical and immediate across all variants, with no network probe — the entitlement check is server-side, gating the subcommand entry point.
Reproduction
$ claude remote-control --help
Error: Remote Control is not yet enabled for your account.
$ claude remote-control
Error: Remote Control is not yet enabled for your account.
$ claude remote-control start
Error: Remote Control is not yet enabled for your account.
$ claude remote-control help
Error: Remote Control is not yet enabled for your account.
What I've tried
- [x]
claude auth loginto refresh OAuth tokens — no change - [x]
/logout+/logininside REPL — no change - [x] Verified all 6 documented disabling env vars are unset:
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY,CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_NONESSENTIAL_TRAFFIC,DISABLE_TELEMETRY,CLAUDE_CODE_USE_BEDROCK,CLAUDE_CODE_USE_VERTEX,CLAUDE_CODE_USE_FOUNDRY - [x] Downgraded to 2.1.152 (and 2.1.150) — same error, ruling out a 2.1.153 client regression
- [x] Confirmed via Claude Help Center Fin chat (2026-05-29) — Fin could not resolve and recommended

Ask
This appears to be an account-level entitlement that was inadvertently revoked during incident recovery. Could the Claude Code team re-enable Remote Control on agoodbear@gmail.com?
Happy to provide additional diagnostic info on request.
