The approaching-limit notice is behind tengu_vellum_anchor, which falls back to false.

What

A user-facing message, "Approaching your 5-hour usage limit — Claude will wrap up the current step.", is shown before the existing wrap-up instruction is injected, so the behaviour is explained rather than silent. It is behind the tengu_vellum_anchor flag, which falls back to false, so it is off in this build unless remote config enables it.

Evidence

Approaching your 5-hour usage limit — Claude will wrap up the current step.

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

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 v2.1.236. 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.
