[Claude Console] Payment Broken. DO NOT Delete Your Organization!!!

So I was trying to connect the Anthropic API. Signed up for the console, went to add credits...

The button just wouldn't activate. Greyed out.

Nothing clickable. Asked the AI agent and it said there were no system issues...

And then for some reason — I still don't know why — I got the idea to recreate the organization.

So I deleted the existing one, got logged out... and then I couldn't log back in.

Turns out... deleting the organization deleted the account. 😭

Oh no.

Kept asking the AI to connect me to a human — no luck. But once I said I needed to restore an organization, it finally said a human would need to help and that a person would email me.

Why on earth did I decide to delete the organization??????? 😭😭😭😭😭😭

Humans learn how not to make mistakes by making them... that's the basics of how neural networks work, after all...
