Credits that were supposed to expire on the 19th just expired (it's the 18th)
A user reported that their promotional credits, which were supposed to expire on September 19, 2026, were taken by Anthropic a day earlier, on the 18th. The user's account showed a current balance of $47.52 and a promotional credit of $47.51, with a monthly spend limit of $100.00. This incident occurred despite the credits being set to reset on October 1.
This report highlights a discrepancy where promotional credits expired a day earlier than their stated September 19, 2026, expiration date, unlike typical credit management systems.
