What

The background job that composes automatic replies and edits on artifacts used to fold every API error into one generic failure and retry. It now recognises a usage-limit response and reports it as its own declined outcome instead.

Details
  • The usage-limited case surfaces as a declined status rather than a generic compose failure headed for retry.
  • Other API errors keep the previous generic-error-and-retry behaviour.

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