Preflight Checklist

  • I have searched existing issues and this hasn't been reported yet
  • This is a single bug report (please file separate reports for different bugs)
  • I am using the latest version of Claude Code

What's Wrong?

  1. /ultrareview was launched successfully — CLI confirmed "Free ultrareview 2 of 3" and provided a tracking URL.
  2. After ~30 minutes, a task notification arrived: "remote session exceeded 30 minutes" with status failed and no review output.
  3. On retrying /ultrareview, CLI returned "Free ultrareviews used. Enable Extra Usage to continue." — the credit was charged despite the session failing with zero deliverables.

Expected: Failed sessions should not consume free credits, or should be automatically refunded.

Actual: Credit consumed, no output, no compensation.

What Should Happen?

Failed sessions that timeout without producing any output should not consume free credits. The credit should either not be charged when the remote session fails, or automatically refunded when a timeout occurs with no deliverables.

Error Messages/Logs

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Run /ultrareview on a branch (1 file, 347 insertions)
  2. CLI confirms "Free ultrareview 2 of 3" and returns a tracking URL
  3. Wait ~30 minutes
  4. Receive task notification: status: failed — remote session exceeded 30 minutes
  5. Run /ultrareview again

Expected Behavior: Failed sessions (timeout, no output) should not consume free credits — or the credit should be automatically refunded.

Actual Behavior: Credit was charged despite the session failing with zero output. On retry, CLI returned "Free ultrareviews used. Enable Extra Usage to continue."

Additional Information

  • Claude Code version: 2.1.126
  • OS: Windows 11
  • The session tracking URL returned by CLI was: https://claude.ai/code/session_01QUKLsrXT WrHM5A3HyodEPo
  • No error was shown during launch — CLI output was normal: "Ultrareview launched for ur/r2-phi-sanitization → main (~5-10 min, runs in the cloud)"
  • Timeout notification arrived via in-session task notification (not email or external channel)
  • No partial output, no summary, no findings were delivered before the failure

extent analysis

TL;DR

The issue can be mitigated by checking the session status before retrying /ultrareview to ensure that the previous session was indeed failed due to a timeout.

Guidance

  • Verify the session status using the provided tracking URL to confirm that the session failed due to a timeout.
  • Check the Claude Code documentation to see if there are any settings or flags that can be used to prevent consuming free credits in case of a failed session.
  • Consider reaching out to the Anthropic API support team to report the issue and ask for assistance in refunding the consumed credit.
  • Before retrying /ultrareview, ensure that the previous session has been properly terminated to avoid any potential conflicts.

Notes

The issue seems to be related to the handling of failed sessions and credit consumption. However, without more information about the internal workings of the Claude Code and Anthropic API, it's difficult to provide a more detailed solution.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: retry /ultrareview after verifying the session status and ensuring that the previous session has been properly terminated, and consider reaching out to the Anthropic API support team for assistance.
