What's Wrong?

What's Wrong?

My account was downgraded from Pro to Free without any action on my part. I did not cancel, request a downgrade, or receive any notification that this was happening.

  • Plan before: Pro
  • Plan after: Free
  • Date noticed: 9/3/2026
  • Account email: Will provide privately if needed
  • Billing cycle: Annual

Support attempts (all failed):

  • Fin AI Agent (in-app support): Stated no ability to escalate to a human and that it can't resolve account sync issues itself
  • Email to support@anthropic.com: Stuck in the same FinAI loop I already went through in the desktop app despite requesting human support multiple times

Why I'm filing this here:
This is a claude.ai billing/account issue, not a Claude Code bug — filing here because
per other reports (#48780, #45497, #56281, #58402) this appears to be the only actively
monitored Anthropic repository, and there's no dedicated billing/platform repo.

Impact:
Paying customer with no functional path to a human for a billing dispute or account issue resolution.

Evidence available:

What Should Happen?

  • Restore my account to Pro
  • Explain why the downgrade occurred
  • Provide a human support response within a reasonable timeframe, with a ticket number
