Usage-credits prompts now checked against the disable flag too

Setting DISABLE_EXTRA_USAGE_COMMAND now also hides the buy-credits prompts, which point at /model instead.

What probably matters to youSection of the release
What

The "buy more credits" subline and the out-of-credits and spend-cap messages that point at /usage-credits now require both a credit-eligibility check and a helper that returns false when DISABLE_EXTRA_USAGE_COMMAND is set. If either fails you get the plain wording pointing at /model instead.

Evidence

You're out of usage credits. /model to switch models.

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

Confirmed since Anthropic's documentation has since written up /usage-credits, on Error reference. * On Pro and Max, increase your monthly spend limit in [**Settings > Usage**](https://claude.ai/settings/usage) on claude.ai, or run `/usage-credits` errors see the edit
