What

When a background composition step fails because of a usage limit, it is now reported as declined with the reason usage_limited, rather than being lumped in with every other failure as a generic compose failure.

Evidence

reason: "usage_limited"

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