In one case it now says instead that the subscription can't be used, and suggests paying or renewing, or using an API key. An API key is a secret code that lets Claude Code use your account without signing in. Every other case keeps the old message.\n\n**Why**\n\nPeople whose subscription has lapsed now get the real reason rather than a message pointing at their organisation's settings.\n\n- Area: Login\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 2\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
