Description

### Preflight Checklist

- [x] I have searched [existing issues](https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues?q=is%3Aissue%20state%3Aopen%20label%3Abug) and this hasn't been reported yet
- [x] This is a single bug report (please file separate reports for different bugs)
- [x] I am using the latest version of Claude Code

### What's Wrong?

After working on Usage Credits for 2 days, Claude Code Terminal spontaneously claims:

`You've hit your weekly limit · resets 3am (Europe/London)
/usage-credits to finish what you’re working on. `

Image

Then under `/status` I see

`Usage credits Usage credits are off · /usage-credits to turn them on`

Image

But in website it correctly reports that Usage Credits are on and limit has NOT been reached:

`Usage credits Turn on usage credits to keep using Claude if you hit a plan limit. [Learn more](https://support.claude.com/en/articles/12429409-extra-usage-for-paid-claude-plans) £188.52 spent Resets Oct 1 75% used`

Image

So Claude Code Terminal does not agree with web settings.

Confirmed on two different machines - Windows 10, Windows 11.
Version: 2.1.265

### What Should Happen?

EITHER
1. Website & Terminal should explain why Usage Credits cannot be used, even with credit balance and turned on.
OR
2. Terminal should continue using Usage Credits

Research direction

No source file, test, or code entry point is identified in the report. Start by reproducing the behavior on Windows Terminal with Claude Code 2.1.265, comparing /status and /usage-credits with the website's usage-credit state; done means the terminal and website consistently explain the limit or usage credits continue working.
