Tip: `CLAUDE_CODE_RETRY_WATCHDOG` Now Fails Fast on Spend Limits Instead of Waiting Forever
Persistent retry mode used to sit and wait for a reset that would never come when the real error was an organization spend-limit or out-of-credits condition. 2.1.239 makes it fail immediately on those two errors while keeping the retry behavior for genuine rate limits. If you run unattended overnight loops with the watchdog on, this is the difference between a dead job you find in the morning and a machine that burned hours blocked on an unrecoverable error.
