They were already turned off when you hit a rate limit, which is a cap on how much you can use in a period. They were also turned off near that limit if `CLAUDE_CODE_ENABLE_PROMPT_SUGGESTION` was set.\n\nClaude Code now also turns them off when you are using usage credits, meaning extra paid usage beyond your plan's normal limit. The rate-limit reason still applies. Some provider or sign-in conditions keep suggestions running even while credits are in use.\n\n**Why**\n\nA suggestion costs usage. While you are paying for extra credits, Claude Code no longer spends them on suggestions you did not ask for.\n\n- Area: Elsewhere\n- Names: `CLAUDE_CODE_ENABLE_PROMPT_SUGGESTION`\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 2\/5\n- Signal: 2\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: yes"}
