Unclear What happens when the limit is reached is not stated.

What

Claude Code now contains a counter that tracks how many turns have passed since a person last wrote. It also notes when it is told a task has finished. Once a set limit is reached, it triggers an action. It is off unless it is switched on remotely.

Why

Because it is off by default, nothing changes in practice unless it is switched on remotely.

tengu_moonlit_toucan 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 v2.1.296: 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_lazy_dove Off by default, switched on for this account

The shipped code defaults this off, and the flag server returned on for the one account this site reads on this version. That is the reading that makes the entry above worth a second look, and it still says nothing about your account.
