DisclaimerUnofficial, and not affiliated with Anthropic. Nearly all of this is read straight out of what ships: npm bundles, captured prompts, published docs. Anthropic's own notes go in verbatim, marked as theirs. The rest is my reading, and every entry carries the strings behind it. If one looks wrong, vote it down and say why.

Clearer lower-priority mode messages

You'll notice

Usage & Limits

Lower-priority mode messages now distinguish starting from resuming, explain the cooldown, and say how to turn it back on.

What

Lower-priority mode now tells you different things when it starts fresh versus when it resumes ("Lower-priority mode is back on until your limit resets at ..."), explains the cooldown that follows waiting too long for spare capacity, and the off message now says how to turn it back on.

Details
  • Availability is unchanged; only the wording and the tracked reset time are new.
Evidence

Lower-priority mode is off. New messages wait for your usage limit as usual

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