[Bug] Ultrareview consumed free credit on crash with zero findings
Bug Description
Bug Report: Ultrareview crashed with zero findings but still consumed a free credit
Summary
An ultrareview run crashed before producing any findings, yet it still counted
against my free quota. My free usage dropped from 3 of 3 to 2 of 3 for a run
that delivered no output whatsoever. I am requesting the consumed attempt be restored
so my free quota returns to 3 of 3.
What happened
- I launched ultrareview on a pull request from the Claude Code CLI.
- The launch banner reported: "Free ultrareview 1 of 3."
- The run completed but returned only an error instead of findings:
{"error":"Review crashed before producing findings. See session logs for details."}
- On the next launch attempt, the banner showed "2 of 3" — confirming the crashed
run had been counted against my free quota.
- I cancelled that second attempt to avoid wasting another credit.
Why this is a bug
A review that crashes during execution and produces no findings should not be
billed against a user's free quota. I received zero value from the run — no report,
no partial findings, just a crash error pointing to "session logs."
Likely root cause (for your investigation)
The pull request is very large:
- 724 changed files
- +17,968 / −30,382 lines (~48,000 lines touched)
The run most likely hit a diff-size or processing limit and crashed during ingestion.
Two issues worth addressing:
- Billing: crashed/errored runs that produce no findings should not consume a credit.
- UX: if there is a hard diff-size limit, the CLI should reject the run up front
(and not charge) rather than launching, crashing, and consuming a credit.
Request
Please restore the consumed attempt so my free ultrareview quota returns to 3 of 3.
