What probably matters to youSection of the release
What
Claude Code now recognises messages that say a model, such as Fable, Haiku, Mythos, Opus or Sonnet, "requires usage credits."
Separately, when a turn fails, its result can now include usageLimitDenial, a note that the turn was refused because of a usage limit.
Why
This suggests some models may be refused unless usage credits are available.
