What's Wrong?
Summary
My organization (ForgeDreams AI) cannot add API credits. Every payment method declines on org billing, while the SAME card successfully charges my Max subscription. This is a billing-config bug on Anthropic's side, and Fin AI Agent keeps auto-closing my tickets without human escalation. Same pattern as #54055 and #60923.
What's wrong
- Org shows -$0.05, API access suspended
- 3 different cards (2 credit + 1 debit) all decline, across 2 devices (Mac + iPhone)
- Billing address is correct and matches my bank — but appears not to save on the payment form (same symptom reported in #54055: "name and billing address never populated")
- One of these exact cards successfully charged my Max subscription — receipt 2343-1997-6314 — proving card, address, and bank are all valid
- Subscription billing works; org billing does not = config issue on Anthropic's Stripe setup, not my payment methods
Support experience
Submitted 24+ hours ago. Only automated Fin AI Agent replies, which repeatedly close the ticket with the "why was my card declined" article and refuse to escalate to a human despite explicit requests.
Requested resolution
- Human agent to inspect my org's billing/Stripe config and restore API access
- Fix the address-not-saving bug on the org payment form
- Service credit for the extended downtime blocking active development
Not the .env API-key issue
No ANTHROPIC_API_KEY misconfiguration — this is org-billing entitlement, not silent API billing.
Org: ForgeDreams AI
What Should Happen?
Adding credits to my organization's balance should succeed with a valid payment method. The same card that successfully charges my Max subscription (receipt 2343-1997-6314) should be accepted for organization credits. The billing address I enter on the payment form should save and persist. API access should be restored once payment completes. When I explicitly request human support for a billing-configuration issue, the ticket should be escalated to a human agent — not auto-closed by Fin AI with a generic "why was my card declined" article.
Error Messages/Logs
Steps to Reproduce
- Log into the Anthropic Console (platform.claude.com) as admin of an organization (ForgeDreams AI).
- Organization credits shows -$0.05 with "Add funds to resume API access."
- Click "Add funds" → enter $25.
- Open "Update payment method" — note the billing address fields (Address line 1, etc.) do not reliably populate/save even when entered.
- Enter a valid card (one that successfully charges the Max subscription on the same account) → click Buy.
- Result: "Payment failed. Please try again."
- Repeat with 3 different cards (2 credit + 1 debit) across 2 devices (Mac + iPhone) — all decline.
- Bank confirms it sees zero charge attempts (payment fails before reaching the bank).
- Confirm the SAME card successfully charges the Max subscription (separate billing system) — receipt 2343-1997-6314.
- Contact support → Fin AI Agent auto-closes the ticket with a "why was my card declined" article and does not escalate to a human despite explicit requests.
Result: organization API access remains suspended; every payment method declines on org billing while working on subscription billing, indicating a billing/Stripe configuration issue on Anthropic's side rather than a payment-method problem.
