Claude Code /low-priority command
Claude Code /low-priority command
I was testing the Claude Security plugin on a repository. A full scan spawns lots of agents, so I ran out of credits halfway.
Claude Code showed this:
⚠ Usage limit reached · continuing automatically at 12pm · esc to cancel
⚠ /low-priority to continue now at lower priority · uses your weekly limit
Two options:
- Wait until 12pm and Claude continues by itself.
- Run
/low-priorityand continue now.
I ran /low-priority. Claude answered:
Continuing now at lower priority until your limit resets at 12pm. Your weekly limit still applies, and responses may pause while waiting for spare capacity. Run /low-priority to stop.
The trade-offs:
- Requests use spare capacity, so responses can pause.
- It consumes the weekly limit.
- It ends at the reset. Running
/low-priorityagain stops it before that.
