claude-code - 💡(How to fix) Fix /usage says 'only available for subscription plans' while /cost confirms active subscription [1 comments, 2 participants]

TL;DR

The inconsistency between /cost and /usage endpoints regarding subscription status may be due to a discrepancy in how each endpoint checks for subscription plans, suggesting a potential fix involves aligning these checks.

Guidance

• Review Subscription Detection Logic: Compare the code or logic used by /cost and /usage to detect subscription status to identify any discrepancies.
• Verify API Documentation: Check the API documentation for /cost and /usage to ensure that the expected behavior for subscription detection is correctly outlined and consistent across both endpoints.
• Test with Different Subscriptions: If possible, test the behavior with different types of subscriptions to see if the issue is specific to certain plans or a general problem.
• Check for Updates: Ensure that the Claude Code CLI and the model (Claude Opus 4.6) are up to date, as updates might address known issues related to subscription detection.

Example

No specific code example can be provided without access to the actual implementation of /cost and /usage endpoints. However, a hypothetical alignment of subscription checks might involve ensuring both endpoints query the same database or API for subscription status.

Notes

The provided screenshots and environment details (macOS, Claude Code CLI, Claude Opus 4.6) are noted but do not directly inform a specific technical fix without more context on how these elements interact with the subscription detection logic.

Recommendation

Apply a workaround by temporarily using the /cost endpoint as a reference for subscription status while investigating and aligning the logic for /usage, as it correctly identifies the subscription.
