/usage-credits
A Claude Code slash command, read out of the shipped bundle. No mined inventory carries it: everything below comes from what this site has written about it.
Configure usage credits, or request them from your admin, when you hit a limit. Opens your usage-credits billing settings in the browser, except that Team and Enterprise members without billing access instead send a usage-credits request to their admin from the CLI, after confirming in a dialog that the request notifies their admins. When no browser can open the billing page, for example over SSH, the command prints the URL to visit instead; this requires Claude Code v2.1.205 or later, and earlier versions showed nothing in that case. Previously /extra-usage

First cited
4The earliest release whose published evidence quoted /usage-credits was v2.1.274, 16 Sep 2026. That is the oldest release this project wrote about it, so it is a floor on the name's age and not the release that introduced it. It is not a presence reading: which builds carried the name is the table below.
Presence across releases
0The miner has never read a build containing this name. It is here because a changelog entry of ours names it, which is evidence that it existed and not evidence of which releases carried it. The inventory starts at v2.1.138 and everything older than that was never mined.
Read out of the published npm bundle release by release, and out of Anthropic's own documentation as this site captured it. Nothing on this page is a description anybody here wrote about what the slash command does. All slash commands.
