Preflight Checklist

I have searched existing issues and this hasn't been reported yet
This is a single bug report (please file separate reports for different bugs)
I am using the latest version of Claude Code

What's Wrong?

Claude Code CLI throws a 400 API error with message "You're out of extra usage" even when the user has sufficient Claude.ai Pro plan credits and has not exceeded any usage limits. The error occurs mid-session without warning. Error received: API Error: 400 {"type":"error","error":{"type":"invalid_request_error","message":"You're out of extra usage. Add more at claude.ai/settings/usage and keep going."},"request_id":"req_011CZqkDa5AAhEqhqrP8xE8s"}

What Should Happen?

Claude Code CLI should continue working normally as long as the user is within their Pro plan limits. If usage is genuinely exhausted, the error message should clearly distinguish between:

Claude.ai chat usage Claude Code CLI usage

And should not show this error when the user still has available credits/quota. Previously, Claude Code worked without hitting this error under the same usage conditions.

Steps to Reproduce

Have an active Claude.ai Pro subscription
Open terminal and run Claude Code CLI (claude)
Start a coding task or conversation
After some usage, the following error appears without warning:

API Error: 400 {"type":"error","error":{"type":"invalid_request_error", "message":"You're out of extra usage. Add more at claude.ai/settings/usage and keep going."},"request_id":"req_011CZqkDa5AAhEqhqrP8xE8s"}

Checking claude.ai/settings/usage shows:
- Weekly limit: only 15% used
- Session usage: only 2% used
- Extra usage: $0.00 spent
- Balance available: $36.07

extent analysis

TL;DR

The issue can likely be resolved by investigating the discrepancy between the Claude Code CLI's reported usage and the actual usage displayed on the claude.ai/settings/usage page, considering the recent regression and the misleading error message.

Guidance

Verify usage limits: Double-check the usage limits and quotas on the claude.ai/settings/usage page to ensure they are not being exceeded, focusing on the distinction between Claude.ai chat usage and Claude Code CLI usage.
Check for API changes: Investigate if there have been any recent changes to the Anthropic API that could be causing the Claude Code CLI to incorrectly report usage or throw the "You're out of extra usage" error.
Compare with previous versions: Since this is a regression, compare the behavior of the current version (2.1.15) with the last known working version to identify potential changes that might have introduced this issue.
Enable debug logging: If possible, enable debug logging in the Claude Code CLI to gather more detailed information about the requests being made and the responses received from the API, which could help in pinpointing the cause of the error.

Example

No specific code example can be provided without more details on the API interactions, but checking the API documentation for any changes in how usage is reported or calculated could be beneficial.

Notes

The issue seems to be specific to the Claude Code CLI and not present in the Claude.ai chat interface, suggesting a potential issue with how the CLI interacts with the Anthropic API or interprets the API responses.

Recommendation

Apply a workaround by closely monitoring usage through the claude.ai/settings/usage page and manually checking for any discrepancies that might trigger the error, while awaiting a fix or further investigation into the API and CLI interaction.
