Error Messages/Logs

Root Cause

This creates confusion because two official surfaces show different currencies for the same usage/billing information.

It makes it unclear which value/currency should be trusted and suggests the terminal is not using the same account, locale, or billing currency source as the web interface.

What's Wrong?

What's Wrong?

There is a currency inconsistency between Claude Code in the terminal and the web interface.

For my account/region, the web interface correctly shows extra usage in euros (). However, the terminal shows the same extra usage in US dollars ($).

This is not just a general localization preference. The correct currency is already known and used in the web interface, but the terminal does not follow it.

Related closed issue: #24490
That issue appears broader and was closed, but this report is specifically about the mismatch between the terminal and the web interface for the same account/billing context.

If the web interface shows , then the terminal should also show .

Why This Matters

This creates confusion because two official surfaces show different currencies for the same usage/billing information.

It makes it unclear which value/currency should be trusted and suggests the terminal is not using the same account, locale, or billing currency source as the web interface.

What Should Happen?

The terminal should use the same currency as the web interface for extra usage.

TL;DR

The terminal should be configured to use the same currency as the web interface, which is euros (), to resolve the inconsistency.

Guidance

  • Verify that the account settings in the web interface are correctly configured to use euros () as the default currency.
  • Check the terminal configuration for Claude Code to see if there is an option to set the currency or follow the web interface's currency setting.
  • If the issue persists, try resetting the terminal settings to their default values or checking for any overrides that might be causing the currency mismatch.
  • Review the related closed issue #24490 to see if any of the fixes or workarounds mentioned there might apply to this specific problem.

Example

No specific code snippet is available, but the solution might involve adding a configuration option or environment variable to specify the currency.

Notes

The exact solution depends on the specific configuration options available in Claude Code and the Anthropic API. If the issue is not resolved through configuration changes, it may be necessary to investigate further or contact support.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: The best course of action is to try to configure the terminal to use the same currency as the web interface, as this is the most direct way to resolve the inconsistency.
