TL;DR

Claim the $100 credit at claude.ai/settings/usage to resolve the API Error 400 issue.

Guidance

  • The error message indicates that third-party apps now draw from extra usage, not plan limits, and a $100 credit has been added to get started.
  • To fix the issue, claim the $100 credit at the specified URL: claude.ai/settings/usage.
  • After claiming the credit, try sending the prompt again to see if the issue is resolved.
  • If the issue persists, verify that the credit has been successfully applied to the account.

Notes

The provided error message suggests that the issue is related to the new usage policy for third-party apps, and claiming the $100 credit should resolve the issue. However, if the issue persists, further investigation may be needed.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Claim the $100 credit at claude.ai/settings/usage, as this is the explicit solution suggested by the error message.
