A wrap-up checkpoint message at 95% usage is behind a gate that falls back to off.

What

When five-hour usage crosses 95% and the account is not in overage, Claude gets a message telling it to checkpoint: finish the current step, list up to three bullets of the most impactful remaining work, and start no subagents or long-running work. A usage_limit_near_wrapup event is recorded. The whole path is behind the tengu_vellum_anchor gate, which falls back to off, so with no remote config value nothing is injected.

Details
  • The exact injected text is "[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.]".
  • None of this machinery existed in 2.1.228.

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.

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.
