Claude Code v2.1.318 ·

More accurate error messages for image limits, output cutoffs and server errors

Errors now cover output-token cutoffs, take the image pixel limit from the server, and drop the retry hint on one kind of server error

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.
