What probably matters to youSection of the release
What

The remote setting that decides whether Claude Code asks for extended usage past a usage limit, tengu_lantern_spool, now has one more case where Claude Code treats it as off. All of these must hold:

  • the work is a workflow set to wait out the usage limit rather than continue
  • extra usage is turned off for a real reason
  • a second remote setting, tengu_lantern_snuffer, is on

tengu_lantern_snuffer falls back to off when the server sends nothing. The separate check on tengu_smooth_harbor still runs first. The flag server has returned tengu_lantern_spool as off for this site's account and for the anonymous baseline.

Why

Once switched on, a workflow that is meant to wait for your usage limit to reset would no longer ask for extended usage in the meantime.

Feature flag
tengu_lantern_snuffer 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.

This account: no value returned · anonymous baseline: no value returned · compiled default in v2.1.288: off

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_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.
