Bug Description

The /usage command incorrectly shows "only available for subscription plans" even when running on a Claude Max subscription.

Environment

  • Claude Code version: v2.1.101
  • Plan: Claude Max (Opus 4.6 with 1M context)
  • OS: macOS (Darwin 25.3.0)

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Open Claude Code with Claude Max subscription
  2. Run /usage

Expected Behavior

The usage dialog should display current usage information for the Max plan.

Actual Behavior

The dialog opens but shows:

/usage is only available for subscription plans.

Evidence

Startup screen confirms Max plan:

 ▐▛███▜▌   Claude Code v2.1.101
▝▜█████▛▘  Opus 4.6 (1M context) with high effort · Claude Max
  ▘▘ ▝▝

Yet /usage denies access as if no subscription is active.

extent analysis

TL;DR

The issue may be resolved by checking the subscription status internally within the Claude Code application to ensure it correctly recognizes the active Claude Max subscription.

Guidance

  • Verify that the Claude Max subscription is correctly activated and recognized by the application by checking the startup screen, which already confirms the plan.
  • Investigate the logic behind the /usage command to see if there's a conditional check that's not correctly identifying the subscription plan, potentially leading to the incorrect message.
  • Check for any known issues or updates in the Claude Code version v2.1.101 that might address subscription recognition or /usage command functionality.
  • Consider testing the /usage command in a different environment or with a different subscription plan to isolate if the issue is specific to the Claude Max plan or a more general problem.

Example

No specific code example can be provided without more details on the internal workings of the Claude Code application.

Notes

The solution may depend on the internal implementation of the Claude Code application and how it checks for active subscriptions. Without access to the application's codebase or more detailed documentation, the exact fix cannot be determined.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Since the issue seems to be related to the application not correctly recognizing the subscription, a potential workaround could involve manually configuring or forcing the recognition of the Claude Max subscription within the application settings, if such an option is available. However, without more information, the best course of action is to investigate the application's logic and potentially await an update that addresses the issue.
