Source Intelligence

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.

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

DISABLE_EXTRA_USAGE_COMMAND/usage-credits/model
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.
