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?

Extra usage settings look correct: In https://claude.ai/settings/usage :

  • The "allow extra usage" is enabled
  • "€0.00 spent Resets May 1"
  • "€17.00 - Current balance"

Yet despite this, I get this API error 400 "Third party apps now draw from your extra usage"

I tried restarting Claude Code , also log out and log in to Claude Code, but nothing works. Waited about 10 min since the extra limits enabled in Claude web.

What Should Happen?

Claude Code should allow usage since the limits are ok

TL;DR

Check the claim status of the $20 credit added to the account and ensure it's properly applied to the extra usage settings.

Guidance

  • Review the error message which suggests a $20 credit has been added to get started with extra usage, and verify if this credit has been claimed at https://claude.ai/settings/usage.
  • Ensure that the "allow extra usage" setting is enabled and the current balance is correctly reflected after claiming the credit.
  • If the credit is claimed and settings are correct, try using Claude Code again to see if the API error persists.
  • If issues continue, consider checking for any updates to the Claude Code version or Anthropics API for potential fixes.

Example

No specific code snippet is applicable in this scenario as the issue seems related to configuration and settings within the Claude Web and Code platforms.

Notes

The provided information does not specify whether the $20 credit has been claimed, which could be a crucial step in resolving the issue. Additionally, the version of the Anthropics API is not mentioned, which might be relevant if there are known issues or updates that could affect this functionality.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Claim the $20 credit and ensure extra usage settings are correctly configured, as this seems to be the most direct approach to resolving the API error based on the information provided.
