Bug

Every time I invoke a skill (slash command), I get a red API error banner about extra usage credits. I'm on the Max plan — this shouldn't be happening.

Reproduction

  1. Be on the Max plan
  2. Invoke any skill (e.g. /commit, /backlog-app-development-pipeline, or any custom project skill)
  3. Red error banner appears at the top about extra usage

Expected behavior

Skills should invoke without API errors on the Max plan.

Actual behavior

A red error banner appears every skill invocation. The skill still runs, but the error is distracting and shouldn't be shown.

Environment

  • macOS (Darwin 25.4.0)
  • Claude Code CLI
  • Max plan subscriber
  • Model: Claude Opus 4.6

Screenshot

See attached screenshot showing the error after invoking a skill.

TL;DR

Check the usage limits and billing details of your Max plan to ensure that the error is not due to unexpected charges or limits.

Guidance

  • Verify that your Max plan subscription is active and up-to-date, as an inactive or expired subscription could cause the error.
  • Review the documentation for the Claude Code CLI and Max plan to see if there are any known issues or limitations that could be causing the error.
  • Check the usage metrics for your account to ensure that you are not exceeding any usage limits, even if you are on the Max plan.
  • Consider reaching out to the support team for Claude Code to investigate the issue further and provide more detailed guidance.

Notes

The issue may be related to a misconfiguration or unexpected usage pattern, so it's essential to review the documentation and usage metrics carefully.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Reach out to the support team for Claude Code to investigate the issue and provide a resolution, as the error may be related to a specific configuration or limitation of the Max plan.
