Summary
A cloud ultrareview (/code-review ultra <PR#>) crashed on the orchestrator side and produced no review output, but it still consumed one of my free ultrareview credits.
Steps to reproduce
- Ran
/ultrareview 6562(deprecated alias of/code-review ultra 6562) from the Claude Code CLI against a GitHub PR. - CLI confirmed launch:
Free ultrareview 1 of 3.with session linkhttps://claude.ai/code/session_01CxHFcN2BN4GVUcYAGRhkqH. - A few minutes later the task notification came back as failed:
> Cloud review failed: orchestrator reported an error: Review crashed unexpectedly. See session logs for details.
- No findings were ever delivered.
- Retried later with
/code-review ultra 6562— the CLI now showsFree ultrareview 2 of 3., confirming the crashed run was counted against the free quota.
Expected behavior
A run that crashes server-side before producing any review output should not decrement the free ultrareview counter (or the credit should be automatically refunded).
Actual behavior
The crashed run consumed free credit 1 of 3 despite delivering nothing.
Environment
- Claude Code CLI on macOS (Darwin 25.6.0)
- Model: Claude Fable 5
- Failed session:
session_01CxHFcN2BN4GVUcYAGRhkqH(2026-08-13) - Successful retry session:
