What
The /rate-limit-options menu shows ways to keep working when a claude.ai usage limit blocks you. One of its rows lets you adjust your monthly spend limit. To fill in that row, Claude Code first looks up your current limit. If that lookup fails or returns nothing, the menu now:
- Shows the adjust row as "unavailable" and leaves its hint blank
- Shows an error when you press Enter: "Couldn't load your current spend limit, so it can't be changed right now. Try /rate-limit-options again later."
- Makes no change to your limit
Before, a failed lookup was treated as if you had no limit. The row showed "Unlimited", and you could set a new limit without seeing your real one.
Why
You are no longer shown a misleading "Unlimited" and can no longer overwrite your real spend limit by accident when the lookup fails.
