TL;DR

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

Guidance

  • Visit the claude.ai/settings/usage page to claim the added $100 credit, as the error message suggests that third-party apps now draw from extra usage credits.
  • After claiming the credit, try running the command in Claude from VSCode again to see if the issue is resolved.
  • If the issue persists, verify that the extra credit has been successfully applied to the account and that the Claude Code version (2.1.27) is compatible with the changes made in the April 4 rollout.

Example

No code snippet is necessary for this issue, as it appears to be related to account settings and usage credits.

Notes

The issue may be specific to the Max plan ($100/month) and the official VSCode extension, so the solution may not apply to other plans or configurations.

Recommendation

Apply the workaround by claiming the $100 credit, as it is a straightforward solution that directly addresses the error message.
