What's Wrong?
When the 5-hour plan usage limit is reached, Claude Code describes pay-as-you-go "extra usage" (overage) as available and something the user could draw from to keep working — even after I've explicitly told it in a prior conversation not to do this once the free limit is hit. This has now happened more than once across sessions, suggesting it's not just a one-off phrasing slip but a recurring pattern — possibly because there's no persistent, product-level setting to suppress this suggestion, so it falls entirely on conversational memory to avoid repeating it. Expected: once a free limit is reached, the assistant should state the limit/reset time plainly without framing paid overage as the solution, and ideally there'd be an account-level setting to disable even mentioning it.
What Should Happen?
It should stop and tell me that limit has reached and stopp using paid credits.
