What
The prompt box has more than one input mode. Bash mode treats what you type as a shell command; prompt mode treats it as a message or slash command. Several commands that Claude Code submits for you now say which mode to use:
- When the usage limit menu opens on its own,
/rate-limit-optionsis now submitted withinputModeOverride: "prompt", so it is not treated as bash input. Before, it was submitted with no override. - The
/artifactskeyboard shortcut now also submits in prompt mode. - The
/clearkeyboard shortcut no longer forces prompt mode itself; the override is applied on a different path. It now passesleavesIdeSelection, and a keyboard shortcut path for/artifactspasses it too. - After submitting, Claude Code now resets the input mode unless the override came from a keyboard shortcut or asked to keep the composer (
keepsComposer).
In the same area, a settings reveal option now accepts prompt_line as well as login_handoff and default.
Why
If you were in bash mode when the usage limit menu opened automatically, it could be treated as a shell command and fail. These commands now open as intended whatever mode you were in.

The entry above is what we published on the day. These lines were added later, as Anthropic's own pages caught up, and they sit beside the original rather than replacing it.
Confirmed since
Anthropic's documentation has since written up /rate-limit-options, on Interactive mode.
After three automatic continuations, automatic continue stops and the `Automatic continue stopped after repeated usage-limit hits` notification appears. Run `/rate-limit-options` to choose what to do next. When you send another prompt, or …interactive-mode see the edit
