What
When Claude Code hits a 429 rate-limit response, it decides whether to show an 'extra usage' (overage) message or a different one. That check now specifically excludes cases where the error is actually about needing 1M-context usage credits, so those get routed to the dedicated usage-credits message instead.
Why
This prevents a case where a 1M-context credit issue was being mislabeled as a generic overage-disabled error, which would have pointed users toward the wrong fix.
