What changed in /usage
Claude Code v2.1.305, released on GitHub on October 20, 2026, changes how the /usage screen shows its warnings. Each warning is now a one-line fix that names its source, and pressing f applies the fixes. The same fixes appear in VS Code and in /doctor.
The release also fixes /usage rows being cut off in narrow terminals.

Retry mode notices limits lifted before their reset
The release adds a setting, CLAUDE_CODE_RETRY_WATCHDOG_USAGE_LIMIT_RECHECK_MS, so that unattended retry mode (CLAUDE_CODE_RETRY_WATCHDOG) notices a usage limit that was lifted before its reset. The release notes do not give a default value for the setting or say what can lift a limit early.

What it means for your usage
The v2.1.305 release notes do not describe any change to plan limits, reset times or prices. The /usage change affects how warnings are shown and applied, not how much usage your plan includes.
The retry setting matters if you leave Claude Code retrying unattended after hitting a usage limit. With it, that mode can notice when the limit has been lifted before its reset.
