Usage-limit messages stop telling you to run /usage-credits when it will not help

Limit messages stop pointing at /usage-credits when that flow isn't available to you.

What

Limit and rate-limit messages now pick their wording based on whether the credits flow is actually available to you.

Details
  • Admin-limit text is either " · run /usage-credits to ask your admin for a higher limit" or the plain " · ask your admin for a higher limit"; the same helper now supplies this for the member-level-disabled and group-zero-credit-limit messages, which used to hard-code the command.
  • The spend-cap branch chooses between " · run /usage-credits to raise it, or visit claude.ai/admin-settings/usage" and " · visit claude.ai/admin-settings/usage to raise it".
  • The 1M-context 429 hint now has three branches: the web console link, the existing /usage-credits plus /model wording, and a new fallback mentioning only run /model to switch to standard context.
  • The choice comes from an internal predicate whose input is not visible in the build.
Evidence

· ask your admin for a higher limit, run /model to switch to standard context

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
