Extra usage tracked as its own rate-limit kind

Extra usage you bought is tracked separately, so ending a session for it no longer looks like hitting a weekly cap.

What

Usage bought on top of your plan is now a distinct rate-limit kind alongside the five-hour, seven-day and other windows, and when a session ends or resets for that reason it is treated like a user-initiated or account-switch reset rather than like hitting a weekly or budget ceiling.

Details
  • Affects both the rate-limit display and the reset-reason handling.
Evidence

"extra_usage"

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