  • 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?

When I try to use (type a prompt) in VS Code extenstion, I get the following error:

API Error: 400 {"type":"error","error":{"type":"invalid_request_error","message":"Third-party apps now draw from your extra usage, not your plan limits. We've added a $20 credit to get you started. Claim it at claude.ai/settings/usage and keep going."},"request_id":"/request_id/"}

I'm using official vs code extension: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=anthropic.claude-code

What Should Happen?

I should be able to use the Claude Code (with Pro plan) with native VS Code extension. It shouldn't been treated as 3rd party.

extent analysis

TL;DR

Claim the $20 credit at claude.ai/settings/usage to potentially resolve the API Error 400 issue with the VS Code extension.

Guidance

  • The error message suggests that the issue is related to the new policy of drawing from extra usage instead of plan limits, so claiming the $20 credit might resolve the issue.
  • Try checking the usage settings at claude.ai/settings/usage to see if there are any other configuration options that can be adjusted to resolve the issue.
  • Since the issue is specific to the VS Code extension, try using the Claude Code via the PowerShell terminal or integrated VS Code terminal as a temporary workaround.

Notes

The issue seems to be related to a change in the Anthropics API policy, and claiming the $20 credit might be a necessary step to resolve the issue. However, without more information about the previous working version and the exact changes made, it's difficult to provide a more specific solution.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Claim the $20 credit at claude.ai/settings/usage, as this is the most direct solution suggested by the error message.
