Anthropic customer disputes subscription cancellation and refund policy

A user reported a negative experience with Anthropic's customer support regarding their Claude Max 20x subscription. After cancelling their renewal, the user contacted support to downgrade to the Pro plan. Anthropic agreed to cancel the Max subscription immediately but refused to issue a refund for the remaining prepaid period, citing a previous refund. The user argues that according to Anthropic's terms, they should either receive a refund or retain access until the end of the prepaid billing cycle, as the service was terminated early without compensation.
