This release reworks those messages for the `seven_day_overage_included` limit, a weekly limit:\n\n- In the terminal: the message can now end with \"Run \/usage-credits to continue or switch models with \/model.\" or with \"\/model to switch models.\" The longer text appears only when other conditions hold. `\/usage-credits` is new text in this build.\n\n- In remote sessions: the message tells you to switch to another model to continue.\n\n- Removed wording: the \"You've reached your Fable limit.\" variant is gone, and the usage-credits text in the spend-limit message is simpler.\n\n- Gate: a new check combines the gate `tengu_sunny_mountain` with another condition and falls back to off. A gate is a switch Anthropic can flip from its servers. Nearby are new helpers for the credit balance, the overage state and a blocked state. What this check opens has not been traced, and nothing has been read about the gate yet.\n\n- Test warnings: the old approaching-weekly, Opus and Sonnet warning cases were removed from the mock rate-limit messages.\n\n**Why**\n\nIf you reach the weekly limit, the message now names the commands that let you keep going: `\/usage-credits` to configure or request usage credits, or `\/model` to switch models.\n\n- Flag `tengu_sunny_mountain`: Not enough to say (read for one account on one subscription tier against v2.1.323; this account: no value returned, anonymous baseline: no value returned, compiled default: off) These values were read against a different version of Claude Code, so treat them as the nearest reading available instead of one taken on this release.\n- Area: Usage & Limits\n- Tier: Use it now\n- Useful: 3\/5\n- Signal: 2\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
