Usage-credit toggle message now clarifies you must restart or start a new session for it to take effect

What

The message shown when 1M-token context usage credits are required now explicitly says that turning credits on only takes effect in a new session or after restarting Claude Code, rather than sounding like it applies immediately.

Why

This prevents confusion where a user enables credits, expects it to work right away, and doesn't realize a restart or new session is needed.
