What's Wrong?
Environment: Windows, Claude Code (desktop/VS Code extension)
Account: Individual Claude Pro subscriber, never joined a team/enterprise org. Billing confirmed active and paid (Settings → Billing shows Pro plan, Monthly, invoice US$23.60 dated May 25 2026, status Paid).
Timeline:
Previously worked normally with Claude Code under Pro subscription
Was offered a $10 API credit inside Claude Code; accepted it (now shows $9.56 balance remaining)
Shortly after, started seeing: "Your organization has disabled Claude subscription access for Claude Code · Use an Anthropic API key instead, or ask your admin to enable access"
/status confirmed: Auth method: Claude AI (no API key set), Plan: Claude Pro, Organization: auto-generated personal org ([email]'s Organization)
Tried /logout + /login per support's suggestion — this made it worse: now blocks login entirely with "Claude Max or Pro is required to connect to Claude Code. Sign up for a Max or Pro subscription to connect your account, or use your API key."
/logout now also returns "isn't available in this environment" in some sessions
Confirmed no ANTHROPIC_API_KEY env var set ($env:ANTHROPIC_API_KEY returns empty)
Likely related issues: #45922 (subscriptionType returns null despite active Max), #54588 (plan recognized at startup, then immediately blocked), #50349 (paid plan shows as Free for Claude Code auth)
Support history: Engaged extensively with Fin (support.claude.com chat) over multiple sessions. Fin explicitly confirmed no human agent was assigned and stated it cannot transfer to a human or provide a ticket number. Conversation ID: 215474875050386.
Expected: Claude Code should recognize my active, paid Pro subscription and allow normal login.

What Should Happen?
Expected behavior:
As an individual Claude Pro subscriber with an active, paid subscription (confirmed via Settings → Billing), Claude Code should authenticate successfully using my subscription login and allow normal usage — without requiring an API key and without showing any "organization disabled" or "subscription required" errors.
Specifically:
/login with "Claude account with subscription" should succeed and recognize my Pro plan
/status should show my Pro plan as the active entitlement for Claude Code usage (not just for claude.ai)
No org-level restriction should apply, since I never created or joined an organization — the auto-generated personal org tied to my account should not block subscription access by default
Accepting the $10 API credit offer should not alter or downgrade my subscription-based entitlement for Claude Code
Error Messages/Logs
Steps to Reproduce
Steps to Reproduce:
Have an active individual Claude Pro subscription (not Team/Enterprise), with no organization created or joined
Use Claude Code normally with subscription login (/login → "Claude account with subscription") — works as expected initially
At some point, Claude Code presents an offer for $10 in API credits; accept it
Continue using Claude Code — at some point afterward, subscription-based access stops working and the following error appears instead:
Your organization has disabled Claude subscription access for Claude Code · Use an Anthropic API key instead, or ask your admin to enable access
Run /status — confirms: Auth method: Claude AI (not API key), Plan: Claude Pro, Organization: [auto-generated personal org], no ANTHROPIC_API_KEY set
As a troubleshooting step, run /logout followed by /login again
Error changes (does not resolve) to a stricter block during the OAuth login flow itself:
Claude Max or Pro is required to connect to Claude Code. Sign up for a Max or Pro subscription to connect your account, or use your API key.
In a later session, /logout itself returns: /logout isn't available in this environment.
Throughout, claude.ai (browser) continues to work normally — Settings → Billing confirms Pro plan active, Monthly, with a paid invoice (US$23.60, May 25 2026, status: Paid)
Result: Complete inability to authenticate Claude Code with a paid, active Pro subscription, despite no changes to local environment, no API key present, and claude.ai itself functioning normally throughout.
