What
Several of the messages Claude Code shows when a request fails changed:
An error for hitting the output limit, max_output_tokens, now has its own message ending "Try again." The output limit is the cap on how much Claude can write in one reply.
The error for an image that is too large in a request with many images now shows the pixel limit the server reports. It used to always say 2000px.
One kind of server error now shows only its message, without "This is a server-side issue, usually temporary".
A failure to refresh your sign-in now has its own version for when a time limit was reached.
Why
You see error text that matches what actually happened, including the real image size limit.
