Claude Code v2.1.232

Token-countdown reminder budget fixed at session start

Under the hood
Useful1 Signal2
Elsewhere

The token countdown reminder budget is read once at start, so mid-session config changes are ignored.

Feature flag
tengu_lapis_anchor Not enough to say

Nothing here resolved what this flag was doing on this version, so nothing here should be read as on or off.

These values were read against a different version of Claude Code, so treat them as the nearest reading available instead of one taken on this release.

Read once, for one account on one subscription tier, against v2.1.232. It isn't a statement about your account. What a flag value here can and cannot tell you

What

The starting budget for the padded token countdown reminder is now read once and cached for the session rather than watched for changes, so a remote config update mid-session no longer takes effect. The reminder itself is off by default behind tengu_lapis_anchor.

Details
  • Resolution order is unchanged: the CLAUDE_CODE_TOTAL_TOKENS_REMINDER_BUDGET environment variable, then the matching settings key, then the tengu_lapis_anchor_budget remote value.
