What's Wrong?
Subject: Claude Code CLI blocked — "Your organization has disabled Claude subscription access"
Plan: Claude Pro (active, billing current)
ISSUE
Claude Code in the terminal refuses to run any prompt. It starts up
normally and then returns:
"Your organization has disabled Claude subscription access for
Claude Code · Use an Anthropic API key instead, or ask your admin
to enable access"
At startup it also shows:
"Remote managed settings failed to load (access denied (403)) ·
no remote policy applied"
My account is an individual Pro subscription. The "organization"
is the auto-generated personal one ("tuhna771996@gmail.com's
Organization") — I am the only member, and there is no other admin
I can ask.
WHAT I ALREADY CHECKED
- Settings > Claude Code: only session/appearance options, no toggle
for subscription access.
- Settings > Capabilities: only connector, visuals and code-execution
options, nothing related to Claude Code CLI access.
- claude.ai chat and Cowork both work normally on the same account.
Only the Claude Code CLI is blocked.
- I have NOT run /logout, since other users report that this
escalates the block rather than fixing it.
ENVIRONMENT
- Windows 10 Pro 22H2, build 19045.5965
- Claude Code v2.1.259
- Installed via the official PowerShell installer, then also via
winget (Anthropic.ClaudeCode)
- ANTHROPIC_API_KEY is not set
REQUEST
Please enable Claude subscription access for Claude Code on this
account, or tell me exactly where the setting is if I have missed
it. I would prefer not to pay separately for API usage when I
already have an active Pro subscription.
Thank you.
