I've previously used Claude Code with API keys, but now my account shows a zero balance. Today I tried using Claude Code with my Pro subscription, but it isn't working. I'm on the latest version of the CLI tool and it keeps telling me my balance is too low. Even after logging out and back in, it prompts me to "Add $5 to proceed," which doesn't make any sense to me. Can someone explain how to get this working?

To get Claude Code working, try logging in through your web browser first. That should open a window for authentication. If you're still having issues, consider uninstalling and reinstalling the Claude Code tool.
I tried that, but it just takes me to a $5 payment screen. Even after reinstalling, I run into the same issue. Have you used it the API way before?
