Claude Code adds Wrap-Up Allowance so agents finish the current step before hitting usage limits
新智元 · wechat · 2026-09-26
Anthropic's Claude Code no longer cuts off agents mid-edit when they hit the 5-hour usage cap. The new Wrap-Up Allowance carves a small fixed slice from your weekly quota so Claude can finish the step in progress and stop at a clean breakpoint — fixing what developers called one of its worst experiences.
Limits: it only covers the in-flight round, deducted from the weekly quota (no extra volume), and doesn't guarantee task completion. Pro users get it once a week; Max and Team Premium get it every time they hit the cap (while weekly quota lasts). Requires Claude Code 2.1.277+ with a Claude subscription login — API, Bedrock, and Vertex AI users are excluded, and exact allowances are undisclosed.
