Unclear What a WebFetch page read does differently once it is held at a usage limit is not stated.
When you reach a usage limit, Claude Code decides whether to wait the limit out. That check used to leave out side work that is not part of the main conversation. It now also covers the step where the WebFetch tool, which Claude Code uses to fetch a web page, has the model read the page it fetched. For that step, all of these must hold:
- the request comes from the main conversation or from a subagent, a helper agent Claude Code starts for a smaller task
- extra usage is turned off for a stated reason, not because of a fetch error or an unknown reason
- the remote switch tengu_lantern_hinge is on
tengu_lantern_hinge falls back to off when the server sends nothing. The separate tengu_smooth_harbor check is now consulted only when no reason is recorded for extra usage being off. Notifications about workflow tasks can now also carry a note saying a usage limit denied them.
This changes what happens to a web page fetch when your account runs into a usage limit partway through a task. The switch is off unless it is turned on remotely, so the new handling does not run on its own.
