[Bug] Anthropic API Error: Usage credits required for 1M context with 1M context disabled

Bug Description
I keep getting "API Error: Usage credits required for 1M context · run /usage-credits to turn them on, or /model to switch to standard context" but I have 1M context disabled in settings. I logged in a few times, which seemed to help initially, but now I cannot continue. I am on Max plan with Sonnet 4.6 as the model (not 1M context).
