Unclear It is not clear whether the per-announcement display limit is now applied somewhere else, so whether announcements actually repeat is unknown.

What

When Claude Code starts, it can show a short announcement. It used to skip any announcement that had already been shown its maximum number of times. It now simply picks the highest-priority announcement.

An announcement can also carry alternate text for when an unused limit reset applies. If it has that text and a check passes, Claude Code shows the alternate text instead of the usual one.

Why

Because the limit on how often each announcement is shown is no longer applied at this step, you may see the same announcement more than once.
