The messages shown during that wait have changed.\n\n- The waiting status now reads like 'Usage limit reached \u00b7 limit resets \u2026', followed by a next-step line such as 'Continuing shortly \u00b7 esc to cancel'.\n\n- Once the limit has reset, it shows 'Your usage limit has reset' and 'Press enter to continue'.\n\n- A new credits line defaults to '\/usage-credits to continue now'. `\/usage-credits` is the command for adding or requesting usage credits.\n\n- The message shown when the limit is reached again after you continued is shorter: 'Usage limit reached again \u00b7 continuing automatically {when} \u00b7 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.\n\n- 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.\n\nThis site has not read the `tengu_functional_llama` configuration, so which wording you see may vary.\n\n**Why**\n\nIf 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.\n\n- Area: Usage & Limits\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 3\/5\n- Signal: 2\/5"}
