TL;DR

Check the usage settings at claude.ai/settings/usage to ensure extra usage tokens are available or properly configured.

Guidance

1. Verify Extra Usage Tokens: Ensure that extra usage tokens are indeed turned off or properly configured as per the user's intention.
2. Check Usage Settings: Visit claude.ai/settings/usage to confirm the current usage status and adjust the settings as necessary to avoid the "out of extra usage" error.
3. Review Error Logs: Examine the provided error logs for any patterns or clues that might indicate a different or additional issue, such as file system errors (ENOENT) that could be contributing to the problem.
4. Validate File System Access: Ensure that the application has the necessary permissions to access and read from the directories mentioned in the error logs (e.g., '/Library/Application Support/ClaudeCode/.claude/skills', '/Users/prank/.claude/skills').

Example

No specific code example is provided due to the nature of the issue, which seems more related to configuration and usage limits rather than a code-level problem.

Notes

The issue seems to be related to the usage limits of the Claude AI service rather than a technical issue with the code itself. Ensuring that the usage settings are correctly configured and that there are sufficient tokens available should resolve the "out of extra usage" error. However, the presence of file system errors (ENOENT) in the logs suggests that there might be additional configuration or permission issues that need to be addressed.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Check and adjust the usage settings at claude.ai/settings/usage to ensure that extra usage tokens are available or properly configured, as this directly addresses the stated error message.
