What's Wrong?

I ran /ultrareview on a 5-file / ~875-line diff (branch
codex/legacy-deep-auditmain). The local CLI reported "Free ultrareview
1 of 3" and launched the cloud session. ~30 minutes later, the task
notification returned:

> Remote review failed: remote session exceeded 30 minutes

No findings, no partial output, no review document was produced. The free-run
counter still decremented — so a server-side timeout cost me one of three free
runs without delivering the service.

Session details

Expected behavior
A failed run that produced no output should not count against the free-tier
quota. Either:

  1. The 30-min timeout should auto-refund the slot, or
  2. There should be a self-serve way to flag failed runs for credit.

Ask
Please refund the consumed slot (return me to 3/3 free runs) and consider
auto-refunding on failed task notifications going forward. Happy to re-run
the review on the same diff once the slot is restored.
