Problem Statement

Claude Code v2.1.42
▐▛███▜▌ Opus 4.6 · Claude Max
▝▜█████▛▘ ~/Projects/abw
▘▘ ▝▝ Opus 4.6 is here · $50 free extra usage · /extra-usage to enable

❯ Opus 4.6 is here · $50 free extra usage · /extra-usage to enable My extra-usage is already over $50 why does this
still appear?

● That's a promotional banner built into the Claude Code CLI - I don't have control over it or visibility into your
account's billing state. It likely doesn't check your actual usage before displaying.

You can report this as a UX issue at: https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues

Proposed Solution

check usage before promotion that encourages more spending.
