What probably matters to youSection of the release
What
When you hit a usage limit and are given grace to finish what you are doing, Claude Code now tracks whether the grace belongs to the 5-hour or the 7-day window, when that window resets, and whether extra usage is allowed or allowed with a warning. The grace state clears itself once the window has passed instead of staying latched.
Details
The window is picked by comparing the 5-hour and 7-day reset timestamps returned by the server, and recorded as "seven_day" or "five_hour".
Extra-usage status is carried through as "allowed" or "allowed_warning".
A single accessor now returns the limit type, reset time and extra-usage status together, and a companion call expires the latch after the reset.
None of this existed in 2.1.246, which only recorded that grace was active.
