[DOCS] Remote Control docs missing `/extra-usage` support for mobile/web clients
Documentation Type
Missing documentation (feature not documented)
Documentation Location
https://code.claude.com/docs/en/remote-control
Section/Topic
Remote Control mobile/web client capabilities, especially slash-command availability when controlling a local session from claude.ai/code or the Claude mobile app.
Current Documentation
The Remote Control page currently says:
"* Work from both surfaces at once: the conversation stays in sync across all connected devices, so you can send messages from your terminal, browser, and phone interchangeably"
And the commands reference says:
"| /extra-usage | Configure extra usage to keep working when rate limits are hit |"
The Claude Code on the web docs also have an explicit command-availability section:
"Cloud sessions support built-in commands that produce text output. Commands that open an interactive terminal picker, like/modelor/config, are not available."
But the Remote Control docs do not say that /extra-usage is available from Remote Control mobile/web clients.
What's Wrong or Missing?
Changelog v2.1.113 added: "/extra-usage now works from Remote Control (mobile/web) clients".
That user-facing capability is not documented on the Remote Control page or in the /extra-usage command reference. The current docs explain that Remote Control keeps terminal, browser, and phone sessions in sync, but they do not tell users that they can run /extra-usage from claude.ai/code or the Claude mobile app while attached to a local session.
This leaves a gap in surface-specific command behavior: Claude Code on the web documents which built-in commands work in that surface, while Remote Control does not document this newly supported command.
Suggested Improvement
Add a short subsection to https://code.claude.com/docs/en/remote-control near the connection or limitations guidance that documents command availability from Remote Control clients.
At minimum, mention that as of v2.1.113, /extra-usage can be run from Remote Control sessions in claude.ai/code and the Claude mobile app.
Also add a brief note to https://code.claude.com/docs/en/commands for /extra-usage, for example:
Available in Remote Control mobile/web clients when connected to a local session.
If there are other Remote Control-specific command compatibility rules, group them into a small table similar to the existing command-availability section on the Claude Code on the web page.
Impact
Medium - Makes feature difficult to understand
