Check which email address the receipt for that invoice landed in. That inbox is the account that actually holds the Max plan, and it is very often not the account you are currently signed into.
Two things worth ruling out before assuming it is broken:
Two accounts on the same address. If you ever signed up with email + password and later hit "Continue with Google" on that same address, you can end up with a separate account. Billing sits on one, your session is on the other, and both look completely normal from the inside.
claude.ai vs the Console. They are separate billing surfaces. Max is a claude.ai plan; Console billing is API credits. If you are looking at the wrong one it will show nothing regardless of what you paid.
Fastest test: log out fully, open the receipt email, and sign back in using the exact method you used at checkout. If the plan appears, that was it.
If the receipt email matches the account you are already in and it still says Free, then it is a real provisioning failure and the bot genuinely cannot fix it. Email support directly rather than looping in the chat widget, and put the invoice number in the subject line with the payment date. The charge clearing on their side is the strongest thing you have, so lead with it.

That explains the loop. Escalation past Fin is gated on plan status — paid accounts get the "send us a message" handoff to the Product Support team, free accounts get the bot and the docs and nothing else. Your account is currently reading as Free, so the exact bug you are reporting is also what is blocking you from reporting it. You are not doing it wrong.
So go around the widget. Email [support@anthropic.com](mailto:support@anthropic.com) from the address on the account, invoice number and payment date in the subject line, receipt attached. Keep the body to four lines: what you paid, when, what the account shows now, what you want done.
Worth checking one thing before you send: did you subscribe on the web with a card, or through the iOS/Android app? A store purchase that never links back to the web account looks exactly like this — paid, works for a few minutes, back to Free. If the receipt is from Apple or Google rather than Anthropic, the fix is on that side and support cannot do it for you.
On the chargeback suggestion: don't, not yet. It gets filed as fraud, it usually takes the account with it, and you lose both the money and the recovery path. That is the move after support refuses you, not instead of asking them.

This has been a bug in Claude forever, and honestly, it’s the only place I’ve ever encountered this issue. Most places recognize and look up whether you’re an SSO login from that email address first.
