205205* A failure that arrives after Claude has finished the response: nothing needs retrying, so Claude Code keeps the complete response and ends the turn normally.
206206* An [Amazon Bedrock streaming response with an unexpected content-type](#bedrock-streaming-response-has-an-unexpected-content-type), because the gateway or proxy rewriting the response would rewrite the retry the same way. Requires Claude Code v2.1.208 or later.
207207* A non-streaming retry of a failed streaming request that gets a success status but [no Claude API message in the body](#api-returned-an-empty-or-malformed-response). Claude Code ends the turn with that error.
208* A request that your organization's policy check denied, which surfaces as an `API Error:` line carrying the denial message. Your organization's administrators set up the check with [Inference hooks](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/manage-claude/inference-hooks), a Claude Enterprise feature, and the message ends with the instructions they configured, or by default tells you to contact them. Claude Code doesn't re-send the denied request to the same model or to a [fallback model](/docs/en/model-config#fallback-model-chains), because the denial is about the request's content rather than the model. Before v2.1.239, Claude Code could re-send a denied request, without streaming or on a configured fallback model, before showing you the denial.

420Claude Code blocks further requests until the reset time shown in the message. The session and weekly limits are shared across all models, so switching models doesn't restore access. The Opus limit applies only to Opus requests, so switching to another model with `/model` keeps you working.
422Claude Code blocks further requests until the reset time shown in the message. The session and weekly limits are shared across all models, so switching models doesn't restore access. The Opus and Sonnet limits each apply only to requests to that model family, so switching to a model outside the family with `/model` keeps you working.

424In an interactive session signed in with a claude.ai subscription, Claude Code can also wait in the open session and continue the interrupted task shortly after the reset. While it waits, a line at the bottom of the session reads `Usage limit reached · continuing automatically at 3:45pm · esc to cancel`. Press `Esc` at an empty prompt to cancel the wait. See [Wait for a usage limit to reset](/docs/en/interactive-mode#wait-for-a-usage-limit-to-reset) for what you see, how to start or cancel a wait, and how to turn automatic continue off. Before v2.1.234, Claude Code didn't offer this wait.
425
422426Usage counts against the session and weekly allowances at the same time. A single burst of heavy activity, such as a large workflow fanout, can exhaust the weekly allowance before the session window resets.

424428**What to do:**
425429
426430* Wait for the reset time shown in the error
427* In the Code tab of the [Desktop app](/docs/en/desktop), the session-limit card shows an **Auto-continue when limits reset** checkbox. The weekly-limit card doesn't offer it. When it's checked, the Desktop app retries the interrupted turn after the reset and shows the retry time on the card. Uncheck it to turn this off for your account.
428* For the Opus limit, run `/model` and switch to another model to keep working
431* In the Code tab of the [Desktop app](/docs/en/desktop), the session-limit card offers an **Auto-continue when limits reset** checkbox. The weekly-limit card doesn't. When it's checked, the Desktop app retries the interrupted turn after the reset and shows the retry time on the card. The Desktop checkbox and the CLI's **Continue automatically at usage limit** setting in `/config` are separate, so turn each off on its own.
432* For the Opus or Sonnet limit, run `/model` and switch to a model outside that family to keep working. Each model has its own prompt cache, so the next request re-reads the whole conversation with no cache hits; see [Switching models](/docs/en/prompt-caching#switching-models)
429433* Run `/usage` to see your plan limits and when they reset
430434* Run `/usage-credits` to buy additional usage on Pro and Max, or to request it from your admin on Team and Enterprise. See [usage credits for paid plans](https://support.claude.com/en/articles/12429409-extra-usage-for-paid-claude-plans) for how this is billed.
431435* To upgrade your plan for higher base limits, see [claude.com/pricing](https://claude.com/pricing)

25272531* Leave bare tool-name rules such as `Write` or `Glob` alone. Claude Code matches them at the [tool level](/docs/en/permissions#match-all-uses-of-a-tool) and doesn't warn about them.
25282532* If the source reads `managed policy settings`, forward the warning to whoever maintains your managed settings; you can't clear it yourself.
25292533
2530In a [background session](/docs/en/agent-view) or with `--output-format json` or `stream-json`, Claude Code writes the warning to the debug log instead of stderr, so machine-read output stays clean; run with `--debug` to capture it at `~/.claude/debug/<session-id>.txt`. Before v2.1.210, Claude Code accepted these rules without a warning.

2536You set [`CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_1M_CONTEXT=1`](/docs/en/env-vars), which normally makes [auto-compaction](/docs/en/model-config#default-auto-compact-thresholds) hold sessions on 1M-context models to a 200K window, but no compaction threshold caps this session at or below 200K, so the conversation can grow past it.
2537
2538```text theme={null}
2539CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_1M_CONTEXT is set, but the 200K limit isn't enforced for <model>, so this session can grow past it. To enforce it, set CLAUDE_CODE_AUTO_COMPACT_WINDOW=200000 (or the autoCompactWindow setting).
2540```
2541
2542Claude Code enforces the 200K limit on its own for every model it recognizes as having a native 1M window, and for model IDs it doesn't recognize it compacts at the window it assumes. The warning appears when other configuration defeats that enforcement:
2543
2544* The model ID isn't one Claude Code recognizes, such as an [LLM gateway](/docs/en/llm-gateway) alias, and you set [`CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_UNKNOWN_MODEL_WINDOW_ENFORCEMENT=1`](/docs/en/env-vars) or raised the assumed window past 200K with [`CLAUDE_CODE_MAX_CONTEXT_TOKENS`](/docs/en/env-vars). In this case the message also offers `or update to a Claude Code version that recognizes <model>` as a remedy.
2545* A `context-1m` beta requested through [`ANTHROPIC_BETAS`](/docs/en/env-vars) or the [`--betas`](/docs/en/cli-reference#cli-flags) flag still asks the API for the
