Unclear It is not clear whether some other limit still shortens very long waits.
What
A server can include a number in its response that tells Claude Code how long to wait before trying the request again. Claude Code used to cut that number down to a fixed maximum. It now uses the server's number as given, as long as it is greater than zero.
Why
Claude Code now follows the server's timing more closely. A very large value from a server can also make Claude Code wait a long time before it retries.
