Anthropic AI support bot contradicts human support on refund

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A user experienced significant issues with Anthropic's customer support regarding a Claude subscription refund. After losing access to their account due to a lost email address, the user was initially assured by Anthropic's AI support bot that a refund would be processed within days. However, this was later contradicted by human support, who stated they could not approve refunds and cited a 14-day refund window, despite months of back-and-forth communication. The user is seeking either restored access to their paid subscription or a refund for the unused portion. AI
