When images or documents are removed to stay under it, Claude Code now leaves a note in their place beginning `[media removed: request limit.`. The note tells Claude the content was removed for the request limit and says whether Claude has already seen it.\n\n**Why**\n\nIn a long conversation that gets trimmed, Claude now knows that something was taken out and why, instead of meeting a gap with no explanation.\n\n- Area: Context\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 2\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
