Has anyone with an AWS India (AISPL) account successfully subscribed to Anthropic Claude on Amazon Bedrock using AWS Activate credits?

Based on the information available about Amazon Bedrock and Anthropic Claude models, I can provide some context about how these models work with AWS Marketplace subscriptions, though I don't have specific information about AISPL account experiences or AWS Activate credit compatibility with Anthropic models.

When you invoke an Anthropic Claude model in Amazon Bedrock for the first time, Amazon Bedrock automatically initiates an AWS Marketplace subscription. This subscription is created at the account level on the first invocation. For this automatic subscription to succeed, the IAM role making the request must have the required AWS Marketplace permissions (aws-marketplace:ViewSubscriptions and aws-marketplace:Subscribe).

The error you're encountering ("INVALID_PAYMENT_INSTRUMENT") suggests the subscription process is failing at the payment validation stage, which is separate from the IAM permissions issue. This could indicate a specific constraint with how AWS Marketplace subscriptions interact with AISPL accounts or AWS Activate credits.

Regarding your specific questions about AISPL accounts and AWS Activate credits with Anthropic models, I don't have documented information confirming whether:

• AISPL accounts have specific restrictions for AWS Marketplace subscriptions to Anthropic models
• AWS Activate credits are automatically applied to Anthropic Claude usage through AWS Marketplace
• Alternative billing arrangements are available for AISPL customers

Since you've already opened a support case, that's the appropriate channel for resolving this issue. The AWS Support team will have access to your specific account configuration and can investigate the payment instrument validation failure in the context of your AISPL account and AWS Activate credits. They can also clarify whether any special arrangements or account configurations are needed for AISPL customers to access Anthropic models through Amazon Bedrock.

For your support case, you may want to ensure you've included all the details you've shared here, particularly the specific error message and your account type (AISPL with AWS Activate credits).
