What's Wrong?
Related to: #65324, #72668, #66918 (/restricted redirect bug), #61339, #56895 (paid subscription silently reverting to Free)
Account: andy@filmless.com
Plan: Claude Max, paid monthly, active for months prior to this week
What Happened:
- Tue July 28: account suspended while attempting to upgrade to Max after the platform incorrectly displayed my paid subscription as Free.
- Fri July 31, ~3am: account reinstated. Notification came from a no-reply address with no way to respond.
- Fri July 31, ~2pm: logged back in. Account shows Free plan again, the same display bug that caused the original suspension.
- Attempted to upgrade to Max again: every card is declined.
- claude.ai/restricted redirects to claude.ai/new instead of showing an appeal form, reproduced in a second browser (Firefox). Matches the exact pattern in #66918.
- Cannot open a chat with Fin ("Get help") to reach support.
What Should Happen?
Expected: a paid subscription shouldn't silently revert to Free, and if Safeguards has flagged the account, the appeal path Anthropic's own Help Center describes should actually load.
Error Messages/Logs
I can't use Fin, I can't get ahold of anyone on email, and I can't use my account even though access was restored.
Steps to Reproduce
Actual: no working self-serve path exists right now. Billing settings, Fin, the /restricted appeal form, and replying to the reinstatement email are all inaccessible or non-functional for this account.
