The 'Usage limit reached' banner text can now be overridden remotely, and a new gated reminder nudges Claude to wrap up during the grace window
What
- The pinned "Usage limit reached" notification shown during a grace window now pulls its headline text from a schema-validated remote config (with
running/stopped/credits_onkeys) instead of hardcoded strings, changes "resets ..." to "limit resets ...", and adds a clickable link to clau.de/wrap-up. - This override is controlled by gate
tengu_lantern_sconce_copy; if it parses to a valid non-empty value, it replaces the hardcoded messages ("Usage limit reached · wrapping up", "Usage limit reached", "Usage limit reached · brief included wrap-up, then usage credits"), and the parsed value is recorded on the flags diagnostic object. - A separate new subsystem can inject a system reminder telling Claude to wrap up work ("finish or checkpoint; don't start subagents or long work") when the session is in a usage-limit grace window. Its message text and mode ("wrap-up" vs "next-steps" vs custom) are configurable, and it's off by default, controlled by gate
tengu_lantern_wick_braid.
Why
These changes let Claude Code adjust usage-limit messaging without shipping a new release, and give it a way to actively encourage wrapping up work before a usage-limit grace period ends, rather than just showing a static warning.

Read once, for one account on one subscription tier, against v2.1.277. It isn't a statement about your account. What a flag value here can and cannot tell you
A reading is one sample. Claude Code evaluates its flags remotely, so no client sees the targeting rule behind a value and this says nothing about your account.
Whether the new wording, link, and remote-config behavior are active for any given user depends on the `tengu_lantern_sconce_copy` and…
