The messages Claude Code shows when you reach a limit or need usage credits now change depending on your role and on whether the `\/usage-credits` command is available to you. This goes further than the earlier change to the 1M-context message:\n\n- Spend-limit messages no longer use the fixed text \" \u00b7 run \/usage-credits to raise it, or visit claude.ai\/admin-settings\/usage\". The command name now comes from a lookup (`EKe`), and the command is only suggested when it is enabled and not turned off with `DISABLE_EXTRA_USAGE_COMMAND`.\n\n- For members of a Team or Enterprise plan, spend-limit messages suggest running that command to ask your admin for a higher limit.\n\n- The 'Fast mode requires usage credits' message and the 1M context usage-credit message now end differently by role.\n\n- Team or Enterprise admins, billing staff and owners are told to \"turn on usage credits at claude.ai\/admin-settings\/usage\".\n\n- Other Team or Enterprise members are told to \"ask your admin to turn on usage credits\".\n\n- Everyone else gets a link to claude.ai\/settings\/usage.\n\n- If `\/usage-credits` is available, the message points to that command instead.\n\n**Why**\n\nTeam and Enterprise members without billing access are no longer pointed at an admin settings page they cannot use; they are told to ask their admin instead. If your organization sets `DISABLE_EXTRA_USAGE_COMMAND`, these messages stop suggesting a command you cannot run.\n\n- Area: Usage & Limits\n- Names: `\/usage-credits`, `DISABLE_EXTRA_USAGE_COMMAND`\n- Tier: Use it now\n- Useful: 3\/5\n- Signal: 2\/5"}
