DisclaimerUnofficial, and not affiliated with Anthropic. Nearly all of this is read straight out of what ships: npm bundles, captured prompts, published docs. Anthropic's own notes go in verbatim, marked as theirs. The rest is my reading, and every entry carries the strings behind it. If one looks wrong, vote it down and say why.

Claude Code v2.1.121

In-App Extra Usage Management

What

Users can now enable extra usage, buy credits, set monthly spend limits, and configure auto-reload directly from within the CLI — no need to visit claude.ai.

Usage
# When you hit a usage limit, the CLI now offers interactive options:
# - "Continue with extra usage"
# - "Buy extra usage"
# - "Adjust monthly limit"
# - "Set to unlimited"
# - "Auto-reload" (on/off)
# - "Manage on claude.ai"
Details
  • Full payment flow integrated in-terminal, including 3DS verification support
  • Set monthly spend limits with real-time enforcement
  • Auto-reload automatically buys more credits when balance falls below a configurable threshold
  • Shows balance and auto-reload status inline
  • Tax calculation and discount display supported
  • Links to Anthropic Help Center for extra usage terms
  • Not available in essential-traffic-only mode
Evidence

Extra usage billing flow (search for "Buy extra usage", "auto-reload", "/setup_overage_billing")

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
