What

In the background task detail panel, if a task's retry attempt was specifically triggered by hitting a usage limit, it now shows a dedicated label instead of the generic "throttled" text that was previously shown for all retries.

Why

This lets you tell at a glance whether a background task slowed down because of general throttling or specifically because a usage limit was hit, rather than lumping both cases under the same vague label.
