Unclear It is not clear whether this replaces an older continuation message, or whether a setting controls when it is used.
What
Each reply has a maximum length, called the output token limit. Tokens are the small chunks of text the model counts. Claude Code now contains a message for when a reply hits that limit and is cut off. It tells Claude that the rest will appear as a separate block, so Claude should:
restart the line, table row, list item or sentence that was cut off
reopen any code block or table header that was open
not repeat anything before that point
not comment on the interruption
Why
Long answers that hit the limit get joined back together. These instructions affect how code blocks and tables come out when that happens.
