Anthropic shipped one of the most requested Claude Code updates: instead of cutting off mid-edit when users hit the 5-hour usage limit mid-task, Claude Code now tries to find a graceful stopping point.
It uses a small, fixed allowance pulled from the weekly limit to wrap up whatever it can. DevRel lead Lydia Hallie noted the team worked on this for a while, marking a notable improvement to the mid-task interruption experience.
