Unclear What the freshly built state contains, and so which limits apply when the saved copy is unusable, is not stated.
What
Claude Code keeps a saved copy, called a cache, of its policy limits information. Sometimes that saved copy can't be used, in any of these cases:
- The cache is refused.
- The cache can't be read.
- The cache fails the check that decides whether it may be used.
In those cases, loading policy limits used to produce nothing. It now produces a freshly built state.
Why
When Claude Code starts without a usable saved copy, it now has a default policy answer to work from instead of none.
