Claude Code v2.1.228 ·

Oversized media in a request is now its own rejection class

Sending too many images or documents now reports a clear media-budget error and retries without them.

What

A 400 whose message mentions too much media is classified as a media budget failure; the retry path strips both document and image blocks, and the error surfaces to you as media_budget_exceeded. Previously this was matched ad hoc against two literal substrings.

Details
  • The surrounding classifiers now take a message string rather than an Error object.
Evidence

media_budget_exceeded

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