What's Wrong?

Description

I hit the usage limit immediately after one prompt in a thread, and the next continue please was blocked with “You’re out of extra usage.”

This looks like incorrect usage accounting or premature limit enforcement, because the task had only just started and the limit message appeared before any meaningful continuation.

What Should Happen?

Expected Behavior

The session should continue normally until the actual usage limit is reached, or the UI should clearly explain why the prompt was counted against the limit.

Actual Behavior

The app reports that extra usage is exhausted after a single prompt/continuation request.
