This release adds support for promotional offers on those credits:\n\n- Claude Code can now ask the server whether an offer is available, including when you have hit your limit, and turn the answer into labels for the menu, a hint and a small banner. It requires `allow_promo_offers` and sits behind a server-controlled switch, `tengu_starry_waterfall`. Nothing has been read about that switch.\n\n- Offers come in two kinds, \"at least {pct}% off\" and \"extra credit\", with a hint pointing to `\/usage-credits`.\n\n- The old fixed list of preset amounts, which showed \"Save N%\", is replaced by an offer-aware screen.\n\n- The custom-amount screen shows a live preview of any extra-credit bonus or discount. Before, it only showed \"Buys ... of usage credits\".\n\n- The confirm screen shows \"You pay\" next to the credit amount.\n\n- A note explains why a bonus or discount was not applied.\n\n- If prices change while the dialog is open, nothing is charged, and you see \"Prices changed while this was open, so nothing was charged. Run \/usage-credits again to see the current prices.\"\n\n**Why**\n\nWhen buying credits you may now see offers and a clearer statement of what you will pay. You will not be charged at a price that changed after you opened the dialog.\n\n- Area: Usage Credits\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 3\/5\n- Signal: 3\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
