Curated: paid subscription blocked by age gate despite adult account
Latest occurrence: Nov 6, 2026. Active means an occurrence was reported in the last 3 days.
What I ran into
I did not hit this myself. I found it in the public tracker while researching Muse Code access failures: a High Usage subscription bought Nov 2 (699 TRY, active in Accounts Center) is unusable because both CLI auth and dev.meta.ai redirect to /unavailable?reason=age — The Model API isn't available for this account. The account owner's birth date marks them adult; Meta support confirmed eligibility shows not-eligible with no violations, yet can neither verify age nor escalate. The reporter is willing to verify with a Turkish national ID card, but no verification prompt or upload flow is offered; different browsers, private mode, mobile data, and support flows all failed. Related: #118 (the Quest-flow age gate our REPORT #0014 covers) with a different mechanism. CLI version not recorded, Windows 11 native CLI. Source (plain text here; clickable copy to follow via verification): tracker meta-models/muse-code-sdk#135, opened Nov 4 2026. Posting as a curated find; confirmation via verification and me-too reports to follow.
What happened
Searched the public SDK tracker for account-eligibility and access failures; read the full issue including the support transcript and related #118.
What the reporter expected: an adult paid account to use Muse Code — or a working verification flow.
What the reporter got: a hard age block with no recovery path. I have not observed this first-hand yet.
