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?

Preflight note: This is a claude.ai consumer subscription (MAX plan) issue — NOT an API / Claude Console issue. Please do not look up the API organization billing record; the relevant record is the claude.ai consumer subscription. Reporting here because Fin AI Agent has been unable to escalate to a human specialist after repeated attempts, matching the pattern in issues #56895, #57594, and #48780.

What's wrong:
My MAX plan usage is being exhausted with zero activity on my end. I am not running long conversations, large file uploads, Claude Code, Cowork, or any agentic/automated workflows. Despite minimal-to-no use, my usage limit is being consumed and I keep hitting the wall.

Steps already taken on my side:

  • Logged out of ALL active sessions — issue continues
  • Reset my account password — issue continues
  • Checked Settings for connected apps / background features
  • Confirmed I am only using the claude.ai app (not the API)

Support history:

  • Support ticket submitted approximately 1 week ago
  • Only handled by Fin AI Agent — no human specialist has responded
  • [Insert your original Conversation ID / ticket number here]

Account details (provide privately to Anthropic staff if needed):

  • Plan: MAX (claude.ai consumer subscription)
  • Account email: [your account email]
  • Approx. date issue began: [date]

What I need:

  1. Forward to the HUMAN billing/account specialist team — Fin cannot resolve this.
  2. Investigation of my backend usage logs to identify what is consuming my usage with no activity on my end.
  3. Credit/restoration of the usage that was drained while this is unresolved.

I remain a committed MAX customer and want to resolve this directly. Please treat as urgent — I am unable to use a plan I am paying for. If I do not receive a human response within 5 business days I will need to pursue a chargeback and consumer protection options, which I would prefer to avoid.

Thank you.
