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

Lower-priority mode reports extra usage taking over, and shows an allowance percentage

You'll notice
Useful4 Signal3
Rate Limits

Fast mode now tells you when extra usage takes over and shows your remaining allowance percentage.

What

When lower-priority ("fast") work stops, a new reason says extra usage is now covering your requests. The status line can show a remaining-allowance note with the percentage filled in, and the "no room for lower-priority work" message now suggests when to re-run the slash command.

Details
  • The status line, allowance note and exhausted-budget copy all come from remote-configured strings, so the wording can change without an update.
  • The extra-usage end reason itself is unconditional.
Evidence

Extra usage is now covering your requests

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