Problem

When the claude.ai usage endpoint refuses a read (HTTP 429), the Claude Agent SDK's get_usage does not throw. It resolves with:

{ "rate_limits_available": true, "rate_limits": { "error": { "type": "rate_limit_error", "message": "Rate limited. Please try again later." } } }

claudeUsageResponseToLimits treats that as a successful read with no windows. resolveUsageLimitsAfterProbe then publishes the empty snapshot, so Usage → Limits drops the last good Session/Weekly bars until a later probe succeeds.

Reproduced on Windows with Claude Code (native OAuth, Max) by calling q.usage_EXPERIMENTAL_MAY_CHANGE_DO_NOT_RELY_ON_THIS_API_YET({ skipBehaviors: true }) the way the capabilities probe does; it returned exactly the payload above.

Change

A rate_limits object carrying error now maps to probeFailed, the same result as a timed-out or thrown get_usage. The existing pipeline already keeps the last published snapshot for probeFailed and still accepts streamed rate_limit_event updates. rate_limits_available: false still maps to unsupported. I also updated the probe type's doc comment so the failure case stays documented.

Scope and approval

This is a small fix for an obvious bug, so it uses the no-prior-issue exception. It is a one-condition change in the shared Claude usage mapper. It is related to #19807, which covers the same 429 on the CLIProxyAPI hub path. It is separate from #14441 (unifiedWindows stream events) and does not overlap with it.

Verification

  • New regression test in claudeUsageLimits.test.ts: fails on main (1 failed / 8 passed), passes with the fix (9/9).
  • Adjacent suites (ClaudeCapabilitiesProbe, Drivers/claudeUsage, ProviderInstanceRegistry, ProviderRegistry, usage/cliproxyApi) pass. tsc --noEmit in apps/server, vp fmt --check and vp lint are clean.
  • Not checked: the live UI after a real 429. I confirmed the payload live, but the end-to-end behavior is covered only through the mapper and the resolver logic.

Implemented with Claude Opus 5.5 in Claude Code (via T3 Code); reviewed with DeepSeek V4.1 Flash in OpenCode.

Approvability

Verdict: Would Approve

Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — Claude usage reads containing an error now follow the existing failed-probe path, preserving previously known limit bars rather than clearing them. The change is limited to usage reporting and does not alter quota enforcement or billing.

Needs human approval because:

  • Macroscope's correctness review did not reach a verdict

Notes:

  • The correctness review was unavailable. Eligibility was assessed without its result.

Walkthrough

The usage-limit conversion now treats a response containing a rate-limit error as unavailable. A test checks the result, and a provider comment clarifies how to interpret the response.

Changes: Claude usage limits

Layer / File(s) Summary
Handle rate-limit errors
apps/server/src/provider/claudeUsageLimits.ts, apps/server/src/provider/claudeUsageLimits.test.ts, apps/server/src/provider/ClaudeProvider.ts
The conversion treats a response with a rate_limits.error property as unavailable. The test checks that the result has no windows or overage-included name and uses the probeFailed reason. The provider comment describes the error condition.

merged current main into the existing head without rebasing and preserved model discovery. corrected the usage comment to cover skipped collection, addressing the review finding. the diff remains 3 files, +22/-2.

verification on b466b633649c42b46ee2feb4d633a8e9d8dc9176:

  • blacksmith vp run check:changed github/main passed format, lint, knip, graphql, typecheck, and tests.
  • the error-payload regression fails against main and passes with this fix. all 19 focused tests passed, including capability probing and usage retention.
  • runtime: a published 42% session window plus a refused usage payload produces probeFailed; the resolver retains the 42% window.
  • two independent source reviews found no issues. authenticated claude/client reproduction remains unverified because this vm has no claude login.

ci finished successfully on this head: all 29 reported checks pass, no conflicts, and the review thread is resolved. ready for maintainer review.
