/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.
What it is
Configure usage credits, or request them from your admin, when you hit a limit. Opens your [usage-credits billing settings](/docs/en/costs#add-usage-credits-to-your-subscription) 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

Presence across releases
The 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.

A reference table page is one whose own table defines this name, and it is where the description above came from. A page that mentions it carries the name somewhere in its text and may say nothing about it at all. Every page carrying it.
Names beside it
Every slash command in the inventory starting /usage, up to twelve of them.
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.
