Bug Description

The Account & Usage panel in the VS Code extension shows "Plan: Claude pro" for an account that is on Claude Max 5x.

The account entitlements are clearly Max:

  • ~/.claude.jsonoauthAccount (profile fetched from server 2026-07-21) contains:
  • "organizationType": "claude_max"
  • "organizationRateLimitTier": "default_claude_max_5x"
  • "billingType": "stripe_subscription"
  • The same Account & Usage panel simultaneously shows a "Weekly Fable" usage meter, which is a Max-tier feature — so the enforced limits are Max; only the plan label string is wrong.

Expected

Panel shows "Claude Max" (or "Claude Max 5x").

Actual

Panel shows "Claude pro".

Environment

  • Claude Code: 2.1.215 (native install)
  • Surface: VS Code extension (Account & Usage panel)
  • OS: Linux (RHEL 9.7, kernel 5.14.0-611)
  • Auth: Claude AI (claude.ai subscription login)

Prior reports

This mislabel has been reported before across surfaces and never fixed:

  • #43851 (status line, canonical) — closed as stale, not fixed
  • #55110 (same panel, Windows) — closed as duplicate of #43851
  • #46414, #69291 (CLI banner) — closed as duplicates

Filing fresh per the stale-bot's instruction, since it is still reproducible on 2.1.215.
