Problem

Opening Usage → Limits, or clicking its refresh button, sends server.refreshProviders with an empty input. On the server that runs the usage-limit refresh and providerRegistry.refresh(), which re-probes every configured provider instance: install and auth status, models, skills. The limits view waits for all of that unrelated provider health work. The report says a refresh on a Windows desktop with Codex and Claude configured "takes a long time".

The same path runs on the automatic refresh when the Limits tab opens (#11928), so the wait is not only on the button.

Fix

  • server.refreshProviders takes a usageLimitsOnly flag. It calls UsageLimitSources.refreshUsageLimits, which refreshes the limit sources and then lets the provider probe run in the background instead of waiting for it, keeping the RPC handler to one service call. The reply carries no provider list, and the refreshed providers reach the client through the server config stream, as they do for every other provider change.
  • The Limits view asks for usage limits only: the web UsagePage and the mobile usageLimitsRefresh.
  • The client's refresh request key carries the flag, so a limits-only refresh never joins a full refresh's request and the Limits view never waits behind one.

The provider probe still runs, so the providers' own limits (Codex, Claude, Grok) keep refreshing when the user refreshes the Limits view. The view reads those from the provider list in the config stream, which the background probe updates when it lands.

Testing

  • server (apps/server/src/usage/UsageLimitSources.test.ts): "refreshUsageLimits returns while the provider probe is still running" — the refresh returns while the probe is still held open, so it cannot have awaited it, and the probe still runs.

That test fails on main: there is no limits-only request there, so the server answers with the provider list after probing every provider.

vp run check:changed passes (format, lint, knip, typecheck of 37 packages, tests, react compiler).

What I could not verify

  • The speed-up itself. The probe's cost depends on which provider CLIs are installed and how they answer, so I have no before/after number for the reporter's machine. What the change removes is the wait: the reply no longer waits for the probe.

🟠 High usage/UsagePage.tsx:259

When a connected environment has native Claude/Codex provider.usageLimits but no CLIProxy hub, clicking Refresh Limits leaves the displayed balances and probe errors unchanged. usageLimitsOnly: true refreshes only the hub source, even though this page also displays native provider limits; preserve the native refresh path as well.

Good catch — this was a real regression in the first revision of the PR: it skipped the provider probe entirely, so the providers' own limits (Codex, Claude) went stale after a refresh.

The probe still runs now, but in the background. The reply waits only for the limit sources, and the refreshed providers — with their usage limits — reach the client through the server config stream, which is how every other provider change already arrives. So clicking Refresh still refreshes the native balances; they land a moment later instead of after the whole probe.

The new server test ("a usage-limits refresh answers without waiting for the provider probe") covers this: the reply comes back with the limit sources read, and the providers are probed afterwards.

Follow-up with the current test names, since the coverage grew:

  • apps/server/src/usage/UsageLimitSources.test.ts: refreshUsageLimits returns without waiting for the provider probe — the refresh returns while the probe is still held open, so it cannot have awaited it.
  • apps/server/src/ws.test.ts: a usage-limits refresh delivers the probe's fresh limits on the config stream — the limits-only reply carries no provider list, and the provider carrying the probe's fresh limits arrives on the config stream as a providerStatuses event.

The native balances still refresh on click; the path they take into the client is covered by a test now.

Walkthrough

Usage-limit refreshes now send a dedicated request mode. The server refreshes usage-limit sources, starts a detached provider refresh, and returns an empty provider list. Client runtime handling separates limits-only requests from full refreshes and preserves fetched workspace snapshots.

Changes: Usage limits refresh

Layer / File(s) Summary
Refresh request contract and callers
packages/contracts/src/rpc.ts, apps/mobile/src/features/usage/usageLimitsRefresh.ts, apps/mobile/src/features/usage/usageLimitsRefresh.test.ts, apps/web/src/components/usage/UsagePage.tsx
Adds the optional usageLimitsOnly request field. Mobile and web usage-limit refreshes send usageLimitsOnly: true. The mobile test checks the request payload.
Server refresh behavior
apps/server/src/usage/UsageLimitSources.ts, apps/server/src/usage/UsageLimitSources.test.ts, apps/server/src/ws.ts, apps/server/src/ws.test.ts
For limits-only requests, the server refreshes usage-limit sources, starts a detached provider-registry refresh, and returns an empty provider list. Tests check the RPC response and that the provider refresh runs without blocking the usage-limit refresh.
Client runtime refresh handling
packages/client-runtime/src/state/server.ts, packages/client-runtime/src/state/serverProviderRefresh.test.ts
Limits-only requests skip fetched catalog and workspace snapshot updates and use a separate single-flight key. Tests check that full and limits-only refreshes produce separate requests and that an empty limits-only response preserves fetched workspace snapshots.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title names the main change: server.refreshProviders with a usage-limits-only mode no longer waits for the provider probe. It follows the conventional commit format and matches the raw summary, the objectives, and the description. It is 70 characters, which is within a normal title length.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

Issue #34652 requires that Usage → Limits refresh re-read usage limits and finish without waiting for the unrelated full provider probe (install/auth status, models, skills).

The whole-PR summary (merge base to head 828bf95) shows:

  • packages/contracts/src/rpc.ts adds the optional usageLimitsOnly flag to WsServerRefreshProvidersRpc.
  • apps/server/src/ws.ts adds an early branch. When usageLimitsOnly is true, the handler runs usageLimitSources.refreshUsageLimits once and returns an empty provider list. This happens before providerRegistry.invalidateModelCaches and the full refresh, so the reply does not wait for the probe.
  • apps/server/src/usage/UsageLimitSources.ts adds refreshUsageLimits. It runs the limit-source refresh, then starts the provider-registry refresh detached, with failures logged.
  • apps/web/src/components/usage/UsagePage.tsx and apps/mobile/src/features/usage/usageLimitsRefresh.ts send usageLimitsOnly: true. The automatic refresh on tab open uses the same caller path.
  • Tests cover the server early return, the detached probe, the client single-flight behavior, and the mobile request payload.

The issue does not require the probe to be removed, and it does not require a measured speed-up. The wait on the probe is removed from the reply path. The probe still runs in the background, as the PR description states. The rebase onto current main did not remove these behaviors.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

Each changed area connects to #34652:

  • The contract flag and the ws.ts early branch implement the limits-only request.
  • UsageLimitSources.refreshUsageLimits implements the non-blocking limit refresh.
  • The web and mobile callers send the flag at the reported entry points.
  • packages/client-runtime/src/state/server.ts skips the machine-catalog and workspace snapshot updates for limits-only results. Its single-flight key includes usageLimitsOnly. This keeps an empty limits-only reply from overwriting fetched provider data, and keeps limits-only requests separate from full refreshes. This supports the new request mode.
  • Tests in the server, client-runtime, and mobile packages cover these behaviors.

No unrelated change was found in the whole-PR summary. The assessment relies on the summary and on the previous focused review. No additional repository inspection was needed to resolve a gap.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description follows the repository template closely. It has the Problem, Change (labeled Fix), Scope, and Verification sections. The Problem section states the expected behavior and the cause: the Limits refresh waits for the full provider probe. The Fix section lists the changed files and the new usageLimitsOnly flag. The Scope section links issue #34652 and related #9661, so the bug is linked. The Verification section names a focused test, its failure on main, and the repo check command, and it states what could not be verified (the speed-up on the reporter's machine). The template asks for before/after screenshots only for UI changes. This change is server and client logic, so none are required. The model and harness line is present (Claude Code). The only gap is that the section heading is "Fix" rather than "Change", and the Scope section does not explicitly say why the change is a bug fix rather than a feature, though the linked issue shows the bug. These gaps are minor.

Include usageLimitsOnly in the single-flight key

When a Limits refresh overlaps a full refresh in the same registry, it can wait for provider probing. If the Limits refresh starts first, the full refresh can finish without probing providers.

Keep the provider probe pending until the RPC replies.

The probe fails immediately. An implementation that awaits the probe and ignores its failure could still pass this test, despite restoring the refresh delay.

Extend this case with a second Deferred that blocks the probe. Release the probe only after receiving and checking the RPC response. Then await probe completion. This verifies the non-waiting behavior without timing assertions.

As per coding guidelines, “Backend behavior changes ship with focused tests for that behavior.”

Opening Usage → Limits sent server.refreshProviders with an empty input, so
the server refreshed the limit sources and then re-probed every configured
provider instance: install and auth status, models, skills. The Limits view
waited for all of that unrelated provider health work.

server.refreshProviders now takes a usageLimitsOnly flag. It refreshes the
limit sources and returns without probing any provider, and the Limits view
on web and mobile asks for that instead of a full provider refresh.

Fixes pingdotgg#34652

Co-Authored-By: Claude Code <noreply@anthropic.com>
The limits-only refresh skipped the provider probe entirely, so the providers'
own limits (Codex, Claude) stayed stale after a refresh.

The probe still runs, but in the background: the reply waits only for the limit
sources, and the provider list with the fresh limits lands through the config
stream.

A limits-only request no longer shares a request with a full refresh, and its
reply cannot overwrite a cached workspace snapshot.

Rebased onto current main (conflict in the client-runtime refresh handler: the new machine-catalog update and the limits-only early return both stay, the early return first — a limits-only reply carries no provider list, so neither can be updated from it).

@juliusmarminge when you get a moment, could you give this a look? All checks are green and Macroscope found it approvable. The change is small — the Limits refresh returns on its own once the limits arrive, instead of waiting for the machine probe. Happy to adjust if anything's off.

One thing that may be holding this up: Macroscope's approvability comment here is from before the rebase (2026-11-12 02:00 UTC), so it has not looked at the current head. I can't apply the macroscope-review label myself — that needs write access — so if you'd like a fresh review before merging, could you add it? Happy either way: the change is small and every check is green on the current head.

…e config stream

The limits-only refresh answers before the provider probe finishes, so the
provider's fresh limits reach the client through the config stream rather
than the reply. That delivery had no coverage: the only server test counted
calls on a mocked usage limit sources service, which pinned the wiring
instead of what a client receives.

The new test runs the real service, sends a limits-only refresh, and asserts
that the reply carries no provider list and that the provider with the
probe's fresh limits arrives as a providerStatuses event.

Added the delivery coverage this PR was missing, in apps/server/src/ws.test.ts: a usage-limits refresh delivers the probe's fresh limits on the config stream.

The test runs the real usage limit sources service, sends a limits-only refresh, and asserts that the reply carries no provider list while the provider with the probe's fresh limits arrives on the config stream as a providerStatuses event.

The transport-level test that only counted calls on a mocked service is gone; the behavioral test in UsageLimitSources.test.ts is unchanged. vp run check:changed passes.

The automated pipeline stopped on this pull request and will not merge it:

the fix is written and reviewed, but proving it needs something no worker has:

  • Permanent blocker: Windows 11 desktop and first-party ChatGPT/Codex and Claude OAuth accounts are required for the reported usage-limit reproduction; these are unavailable on the worker VMs.
  • Automatic and manual Limits refresh completion during slow provider probes, and subsequent native-provider limit updates through the config stream, remain unverified on both commits. Scenario guidance excludes provider-specific behavior and timing, so replay would not establish this result.

It stays open for a person to finish or close.

Understood, and thanks for the clear write-up.

I can't supply that environment from here either: this machine is Linux, with no first-party ChatGPT/Codex or Claude OAuth accounts, so the reported reproduction and the two unverified behaviours stay out of reach for me.

What the change does establish on its own: the limits-only request answers before the provider probe, with the probe held open so it cannot have been awaited, and the probe still runs (apps/server/src/usage/UsageLimitSources.test.ts); and both clients now ask for limits only rather than a full provider refresh.

If it helps whoever picks this up, I can put the exact manual steps in the PR body: on a Windows 11 desktop with Codex and Claude configured, time the Usage → Limits refresh before and after, then watch a native provider's limits arrive through the config stream after the probe finishes. Say the word and I'll add them.

Otherwise, I'm happy to close this myself so it stops counting against the open-PR limit for unvouched contributors — whichever you'd prefer.

# Conflicts:
#	apps/server/src/usage/UsageLimitSources.test.ts
Main stopped taking ProviderRegistry in UsageLimitSources, so the merged
tests lost the mock the limits-only refresh needs again.

[Bug]: Usage → Limits refresh re-probes every provider, so it is slow
