What
When Claude Code hits a usage limit, it shows a banner warning (like "You've hit your session limit"). A new internal check now reads the wording of that message, works out which kind of limit it's talking about (session, weekly, or model-specific), and compares that against the actual limit type reported by the API.
If the two match, the banner is shown as before.
If they don't match, the banner is suppressed and not shown.
Why
This prevents a mismatched or stale warning banner from being displayed, for example one that talks about a session limit when the real limit that was hit is a weekly or model-specific one. It should make rate-limit banners more trustworthy when they do appear.
