Root Cause

Related to #43851 (status line shows "Claude Pro" instead of "Claude Max" on macOS/CLI), but this affects a different UI surface: the Account & Usage panel inside the VSCode extension on Windows. The root cause may be shared — the extension likely reads a plan label that maps both Max and Pro to the same display string.

Bug Description

The Account & Usage panel in the Claude Code VSCode/VSCodium extension displays "Claude pro" under the Plan field, despite the account being on the Max plan (confirmed via claude.ai/settings/billing).

Environment

  • Claude Code extension: VSCodium (VSCode-compatible)
  • OS: Windows 11 Home (10.0.26200)
  • Auth method: Claude AI
  • Plan (actual): Claude Max — auto-renews May 16, 2026
  • Plan (shown in extension): Claude pro

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Open Claude Code extension in VSCode / VSCodium
  2. Click account icon → open Account & Usage panel
  3. Observe the Plan field

Expected Behavior

Plan field should display "Max plan" (or equivalent) for Max plan subscribers.

Actual Behavior

Plan field displays "Claude pro" regardless of actual subscription tier.

Screenshots

Account & Usage panel (extension) — shows "Claude pro":

Plan: Claude pro

claude.ai/settings/billing (ground truth) — shows "Max plan":

Max plan · 5x more usage than Pro · auto-renews May 16, 2026

Additional Context

Related to #43851 (status line shows "Claude Pro" instead of "Claude Max" on macOS/CLI), but this affects a different UI surface: the Account & Usage panel inside the VSCode extension on Windows. The root cause may be shared — the extension likely reads a plan label that maps both Max and Pro to the same display string.

TL;DR

The issue can likely be resolved by updating the plan label mapping in the Claude Code extension to correctly display "Max plan" for Max plan subscribers.

Guidance

  • Verify that the plan label mapping is the cause of the issue by checking the extension's code or configuration for any hardcoded or incorrect mappings.
  • Check if the issue is related to #43851 and if the fix for that issue can be applied to this case as well.
  • Investigate the extension's authentication and plan retrieval logic to ensure it is correctly fetching the user's plan information from the Claude AI API.
  • Consider adding a temporary workaround to display the correct plan name based on the user's actual subscription tier.

Example

No code snippet is provided as the issue does not contain enough information about the extension's codebase.

Notes

The issue may be specific to the Windows 11 Home environment or the VSCodium version, and further testing may be needed to confirm the root cause.

Recommendation

Apply a workaround to display the correct plan name based on the user's actual subscription tier, as the root cause is likely a misconfiguration or incorrect mapping in the extension.
