Extended usage requests can now come from the main conversation, behind remote switches

The request for extended usage past a limit can now apply to the main conversation, not only subagents, but stays off unless switched on remotely

What

Claude Code can mark a request to Anthropic as asking for extended usage past a usage limit. Before, this was never done for the main conversation, only for subagents (helpers Claude runs separately for a task). With a new condition passed in, the main conversation is no longer ruled out.

The other conditions are unchanged:

  • you must connect to Anthropic directly
  • one of two remote conditions must hold
  • a remotely controlled setting, tengu_lantern_spool, must be on; it falls back to off when the server sends nothing
Why

Once switched on, extended usage could cover your main conversation as well as subagents.

Feature flag
tengu_lantern_spool Off in both readings

The flag server returned off for the account this site reads and for the anonymous baseline. A reading of off cannot rule out a rollout these two readings sit outside of.

These values were read against a different version of Claude Code, so treat them as the nearest reading available instead of one taken on this release.

tengu_smooth_harbor Not enough to say

Nothing here resolved what this flag was doing on this version, so nothing here should be read as on or off.
