What's Wrong?
Summary
I paid for the Max 20x subscription on claude.ai and have a valid invoice confirming payment. Shortly afterward, my account was placed on hold. The hold has since been resolved and my account access restored — but the paid Max 20x subscription benefits were never restored, my account currently shows as Free plan, and I have not received a refund for the unused subscription period.
Timeline
Aug 16, 2026 (Sun), 00:37: Paid for Max 20x subscription — payment successful (invoice available on request)
Aug 16, 2026 (Sun), 01:47: Account was suspended, roughly 1 hour after the payment
Aug 17, 2026 (Mon), 02:27: Account suspension lifted, account access restored
Since restoration: account has shown as Free plan; Max 20x benefits have not been reinstated
Support history
Opened a support conversation via "Get Help." Fin AI Agent responded and said the case was escalated to the support team for review — ticket #215475553918402
Followed up multiple times by replying in the same email thread, as instructed by Anthropic's own support documentation
Every reply received so far — including the escalation confirmation — has been signed "This answer was composed by Fin AI Agent, Anthropic's AI Agent," with no indication a human has actually reviewed the case
It has now been over two weeks with no substantive human response

What Should Happen?
Could someone from the Anthropic team please:
Restore the paid Max 20x subscription benefits, or issue a refund for the unused/undelivered subscription period if restoration isn't possible
Confirm that ticket #215475553918402 has actually reached a human reviewer, since every response so far has come only from the Fin AI Agent

Steps to Reproduce
I'm flagging this publicly because similar billing/support delays have been reported before in this repo (e.g. #59545, #60923), and visibility here seems to be one of the few things that reliably gets a human response. Happy to provide additional details (dates, redacted invoice, etc.) privately if that helps move this along.
