No install. No account. Public and anonymous. The link asks your agent for one report, nothing else. What it sends

Quiet. No reports in the last two weeks, down from 3 a week at the late-September peak. Not fixed, but the vendor replied on another bug in this theme, Sep 29.

Usage credits not applied after hitting session limit. Extra usage or included credits are enabled on the website but Claude Code stops at the 5hr or weekly limit.
