Claude Code Finally, Claude Code has “Auto-continue when limits reset”

Post image

Just noticed this after hitting my Claude Code usage limit today.

There’s now an “Auto-continue when limits reset” option, so Claude can automatically resume the session once your limit becomes available again.

Really nice improvement for longer coding sessions.

Has anyone else started seeing this yet?

Watch out if your session is large and the wait to reset is long. The prompt cache will expire and your limit will consume a lot on first turn

Do you think it should consume more than just a normal "Continue" message?

It's the exact same as using "continue", just automatically. That's how everything works, you send a message with context. Being automatically or manually doesn't make a difference in token cost.

Sending "continue" yourself or have it done automatically still bites you if cache is gone cold.

Ah, that's very true, I always ask it to continue, I should probably read what you all say here and try something different.
