Usage-limit auto-continue messages: new status lines, credits hint and remote wording

What

When you reach your usage limit, Claude Code can wait and then continue your work automatically. The messages shown during that wait have changed.

• The waiting status now reads like 'Usage limit reached · limit resets …', followed by a next-step line such as 'Continuing shortly · esc to cancel'.
• Once the limit has reset, it shows 'Your usage limit has reset' and 'Press enter to continue'.
• A new credits line defaults to '/usage-credits to continue now'. /usage-credits is the command for adding or requesting usage credits.
• The message shown when the limit is reached again after you continued is shorter: 'Usage limit reached again · continuing automatically {when} · esc to cancel'. It no longer says that the automatic-continue setting can't end the wait, or that esc or /rate-limit-options still can.
• The wording of the waiting, started, rearmed and credits lines can now come from a remotely delivered configuration, tengu_functional_llama. Each line has a built-in default. That default is used when the configuration is missing or invalid, or when a replacement line leaves out the {when} placeholder, the spot where the timing is filled in.

This site has not read the tengu_functional_llama configuration, so which wording you see may vary.

Why

If you hit a usage limit, you now get a clearer picture of when work will resume, and a pointer to /usage-credits if you want to continue sooner. The wording can also be changed without a new Claude Code release.
