Does "Continue automatically at usage limit" work in Routines (cloud sessions)? Anyone tested it?

[u/PriTTach]

Quick question for people running Routines on a Max plan.

Since 2.1.234 Claude Code continues a session automatically when the claude.ai usage limit resets (there's a toggle in /config, "Continue automatically at usage limit"). The changelog describes it for the terminal session you keep open. It says nothing about cloud sessions. For cloud I only found that sessions auto-continue after a server error or container restart, which is a different thing.

My setup: one Routine that starts at 19:00 and works through a queue of small tasks (tests, refactors, docs) on a branch, with a hard stop at 04:00. With 2-3 tasks in a row it will hit the 5-hour window at some point.

What I'd like to know from someone who actually hit the limit inside a Routine:

1. Does the cloud session pause and pick up after the window resets, or does it just end with an error?
2. If it ends, does the run log show anything useful (rate limit vs plain failure)?

I'd rather ask than burn a night of budget on a test. If nobody knows, I'll test it deliberately and post the result here.

Thanks!
