Hi **dahlia**
, I just noticed you’ve just joined the community a few hours ago — welcome! 
It’s super exciting to see new people here! 
It looks like your Claude Max subscription isn’t being used because your setup is pointing to Vercel AI Gateway, which always bills Vercel credits on the Hobby plan. That’s why you got the 402 / insufficient funds errors. use your Claude subscription directly:
export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY="sk-CLAUDE-MAX-YOUR-KEY"
export ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL="https://api.anthropic.com"
Remove the Vercel custom headers, source your .zshrc .zshrc .zshrc , and log in again. Now requests will go through your subscription, not your Vercel credits 
Vercel is moving fast 
feels like the perfect place to explore and share cool stuff! Some fun things you can also start small community topics like:
