[FEATURE] When Claude exceeds limits but keeps executing current task (good) print : "Finishing current task, exceeded limit by % (this will be added to your usage in next session.)"
Preflight Checklist
- [x] I have searched existing requests and this feature hasn't been requested yet
- [x] This is a single feature request (not multiple features)
Problem Statement
I've noticed that Claude keeps executing running tasks even while already at 99% threshold, leading to tokens being used beyond the limit.
When the user then stops, and later continues they might see a big immediate jump.
In my most recent experience (yesterday) this was about 9%.
This creates uncertainty and confusing, and hinders bug reporting and other contributions and thus progress.
Proposed Solution
To avoid any confusion, and allow for users to better contribute in debugging potential bugs in regards to users, it would be nice if Claude Report could either:
- Report use of tokens exceeding limits, later to be cashed back in.
- If difficult: Report it during limit stop / when switching to extra-usage and/or when continuing / starting new convo.
I'm also having the feeling that it's not 'withdrawn' from extra-usage, but only from the main token pool.
That's certainly good (cheaper), but again: Better transparency = less user confusing = happier users!
