You're asking about fixing your Claude Code billing/plan configuration mid-session. Let me help you sort this out.

The key issue: You upgraded from 5x to 20x Max, but may have accidentally linked to API billing instead of your Pro/Max subscription.

**To check and fix without losing your session:**

1. **Check your current billing status** - In your Ubuntu terminal (separate from the Claude Code session), run:
   ```
   claude config list
   ```

2. **The critical distinction:**
   - **Max plan (20x)** = Uses your Anthropic subscription (claude.ai account)
   - **API plan** = Uses API credits (api.anthropic.com, billed per token)

3. **To switch back to your subscription (Max plan):**
   ```
   claude config set primaryProvider claude_ai
   ```
   Or if that doesn't work:
   ```
   claude logout
   claude login
   ```
   Then select your **claude.ai account** (not API key) during the login flow.

4. **To keep your current session alive:** Open a **second terminal tab/window** to do the config changes. Your existing Claude Code session should pick up the new auth on the next API call without needing to restart.

5. **If you accidentally set an API key**, you can remove it:
   ```
   claude config set apiKey ""
   ```

**Quick check** - In your active session, you can also type `/config` to see what's currently active.

The main thing: make sure your login is tied to your **claude.ai subscription account** (the one with the 20x Max plan), not an API key from console.anthropic.com. The login method determines which billing path is used.

Do you want me to walk you through checking the specific config values in your terminal?

You're good. That status line confirms:

- **Opus 4.6** - You're on the right model
- **Claude Max** - You're on your Max subscription (not API billing)

Your 20x upgrade is active and you're correctly linked to your Max plan, not API. The session is fine - just continue where you left off. No config changes needed.
