Before, it put in a short note saying how many were left out. Now it adds a text placeholder. When saving is available, it also adds a note pointing to the file where the left-out image was saved.\n\nThe usage data Claude Code records about image input also gains a field marking images that go over a limit.\n\n**Why**\n\nImages dropped from a long conversation may now be recoverable from a file on disk.\n\n- Area: Elsewhere\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 2\/5\n- Signal: 2\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
