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.

Claude Code v2.1.242

Extra usage tracked as its own rate-limit kind

You'll notice
Useful3 Signal3
Rate Limits

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.
