What
When fast mode is temporarily unavailable, Claude Code shows why. There was already a message for each of these two reasons:
Fast mode is overloaded
You have hit your fast limit
There is now a third reason, shown as "Fast mode was refused for this project". When that pause ends, the notice reads "Trying fast mode again" instead of "Fast limit reset · now using fast mode". Claude Code remembers why fast mode was paused so it can choose the right notice.
Why
If fast mode is refused for your project, you get a clear explanation and a notice when Claude Code tries again, instead of a misleading message about hitting your fast limit.
