Feature: Don't count bug reports and feedback against usage limits
Feature Request
Problem:
When a user encounters a bug or has a suggestion for improving Claude Code, the natural thing to do is describe it to Claude and ask Claude to help file it. But that conversation itself costs tokens and counts against usage limits. Users are effectively paying to give Anthropic free feedback.
This creates a perverse incentive: users are discouraged from reporting bugs and suggesting improvements because doing so costs them money/quota.
Proposed solution:
Detect when a conversation is primarily about reporting a bug or suggesting an improvement to Claude Code itself, and exempt those interactions from billing / usage limits (or at least significantly discount them).
Possible approaches:
- A dedicated
/report-bugor/feedbackslash command that enters a free-tier conversation mode for filing issues. - Classify conversations that result in a GitHub issue being filed against
anthropics/claude-codeand credit back the tokens used. - A lightweight feedback form accessible from within Claude Code that doesn't use the LLM at all.
Why this matters:
User feedback is extremely valuable for improving Claude Code. Removing the cost friction would encourage more and better bug reports and feature suggestions, benefiting everyone.
