Bug Report

When switching between Claude accounts in VSCode:

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Switch to a different Claude account (with a different email) in VSCode
  2. Restart VSCode
  3. Check the system context/user email shown in Claude Code

Expected behavior:
System context should reflect the currently authenticated account's email

Actual behavior:
System context remains locked to the original account's email (user@email.com) even after:

  • Switching to a different account with a different email
  • Restarting VSCode
  • The usage data and account type correctly update to the new account, but the system email context does not

Environment:

  • VSCode with Claude Code extension
  • Switching between a teams and enterprise account with different email addresses
