Claude Code now retries faster and recovers sooner when it can't fetch your policy limits

What

When Claude Code can't fetch your account's policy limits (usage/permission rules from your organization) and has no recent valid result to fall back on, it now recovers more aggressively:

  • It arms a faster, randomized-timing retry instead of waiting for the normal poll interval
  • It also watches for any other successful network call and immediately re-tries the policy-limits fetch when one happens (a "network kick")
  • It now tracks how long it went without a valid result, and records that when a result is finally recovered
Why

This should shorten the window where Claude Code is operating without confirmed policy limits, particularly after a temporary network hiccup, by recovering as soon as the network shows signs of life again rather than waiting out a fixed timer.
