What
When Claude Code processes an image, it now records usage data (telemetry) about whether the image went over a byte budget, a byte limit or a side-length limit, and where the image came from. This only happens when a separate condition in Claude Code allows it.
Why
This gives a measure of how often images run into size limits.
