It checks the copy against size limits and, if the copy passes, sends that copy to the model directly. Claude Code also counts how often the copy was found or missing and how many extra image tokens it used. Tokens are the units the model's input is measured in.\n\n**Why**\n\nThis may change which version of an image the model sees in remote sessions.\n\n- Area: Images\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 2\/5\n- Signal: 2\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
