Unclear What the overload handling does differently from a normal retry is not stated.

What

When the server answers with an error that Claude Code classes as overloaded, Claude Code retries the request. A new server-side switch changes the first retry. With the switch on, that first retry is not handled as an overload. Later retries, or any retry with the switch off, are handled as an overload as before.

Why

On accounts where the switch is on, the first retry after an overloaded error behaves differently.

The flag server returned off for the account this site reads and for the anonymous baseline. A reading of off cannot rule out a rollout these two readings sit outside of.
