+1 — same billing fairness bug, different trigger.

In our case /ultrareview failed with a 30-minute remote session timeout on a large PR (+4710/-424, 59 commits), delivering zero findings. Free run count still decremented from 3/3 to 2/3.

After retrying, a second session also timed out — burning 2 of 3 free runs with no output delivered.

Environment:

Claude Code v2.1.112
Max 5x plan
PR: Tracy625/cq-collab#44
Sessions:
session_014tuJwbYUNHRRornrL6vJV5 (first failure — 30min timeout)
session_01B4qAupJzBGGhJ86ScFzghA (second failure — also timed out)

Agree with @ThatDragonOverThere's framing: "Crediting a session on failed launch is a billing fairness bug regardless of the root cause."

Two additional asks specific to the timeout case:

Surface an up-front PR size check before consuming a free run, so large PRs can fall back to /review early
Document the 30-minute hard cap in /ultrareview docs (currently only states 10-20 min typical)

Please refund both consumed free runs for session IDs above.
