Unclear It is not stated how the remote switch controls the retry, so whether the retry happens for anyone is unclear.
Claude Code now contains code that resends a request one time after the server turns it down because a usage limit was reached. It applies only when the rejection names the five-hour or the seven-day limit. The behaviour is tied to a switch that the server can set, which falls back to false when the server sends nothing.
This points towards a short grace period, where a request that just crossed a usage limit gets one more attempt instead of failing straight away.
