Fix / Workaround

Discovered my Claude Max Account (self-)downgraded to the Free Plan, after sign in, upon login prompt with Claude Code. I was mid-task this morning when the logout happened, and the login prompt initiated. I logged in as I would typically do, and was greeted with a message that Claude Opus 4.7 is not available on the Free Plan, and to upgrade in order to utilize it, or Claude Code. I checked my Google Play account, and everything is in order, and indicates I am on a paid Max Account - Fin also sees me on a paid account on his end as well. Last payment was made, successfully - April 16th. My renewal is May 16th. It is May 6th, and I now have nothing more than a free plan - The fact Google Play, and Fin both verify the Max subscription is active , and then being prompted to upgrade to use the service indicates there is either some anomaly or interaction between Google Play and Claude - or simply Claude, and my account.

What Should Happen?

I should sign in, and have my usual Claude Max 20x plan - not a free plan.
