What probably matters to youSection of the release

A one-shot wrap-up hint at high five-hour usage sits behind a flag that falls back to false.

What

When five-hour usage crosses a threshold, and you are not using or allowed extra overage, Claude Code arms a one-shot hint that tells the model to finish the current step, list at most 3 bullets of the most impactful remaining work, and not start subagents or long-running work. Off in this build: tengu_vellum_anchor falls back to false. Reports as usage_limit_near_wrapup.

Details
  • fires at most once per session, injected as a meta message rather than shown as UI text
Evidence

[Usage limit approaching. Checkpoint now: finish the current step, then list up to 3 short bullets of the most impactful remaining work. Don't start subagents or long-running work.]

Feature flag
tengu_vellum_anchor Off in both readings

The flag server returned off for the account this site reads and for the anonymous baseline. A reading of off cannot rule out a rollout these two readings sit outside of.

Read once, for one account on one subscription tier, against v2.1.229. It isn't a statement about your account. What a flag value here can and cannot tell you

What has happened since
Flag reading moved The flag server now returns off for tengu_vellum_anchor, read as this account. A reading is one sample. Claude Code evaluates its flags remotely, so no client sees the targeting rule behind a value and this says nothing about your account.
