Intent

Stop nagging people who stay over a plan limit. One email per time they cross 80% or 100% of a specific entitlement.

Why

The first hourly sweep after the 80%/100% warning lane shipped mailed maciek for 10/10 saved packages. The throttle was one approaching mail and one reached mail per user per UTC day. Sitting at the same cap would have mailed them again at the next midnight.

That is the wrong unit. People should get one email per instance of hitting a given percentage of a given entitlement.

Summary

  • KV claim is now {prefix}:{userId}:{kind}:{resource} (entitlement-warning-user:v3) for stock limits.
  • *_per_day counters append the UTC day so a midnight reset is a new instance, even if the user was off the sweep while the counter sat at zero.
  • Staying at 80% or 100% of the same stock resource does not mail again, including the next UTC day.
  • Dropping below that threshold clears the claim. Climbing back over it is a new instance and mails once.
  • Hitting 100% also claims 80% for that resource, so a later drop into the 80–99% band does not send a second mail.
  • Same-hour crossings of the same kind still batch into one mail.
  • A same-day leftover v2 key still claims every resource currently in that bucket. A leftover v2 key from an earlier UTC day claims stock limits only.
  • Stock claims use a 30-day TTL. The hourly sweep refreshes that TTL while the user is still over, so sitting at a cap stays silent. If they drop out of the candidate set, the claim can expire and a later climb rematches.
  • One failed KV claim write no longer aborts the rest of the sweep.

Testing

  • npx vitest run packages/worker/src/app/user-entitlement-warning-emails.node.test.ts (5 passing)
  • oxfmt on the touched files
  • Preview kody-pr-1714: seed login, GET /account/usage.json and /account/billing.json 200 (email CTA pages). Re-run against this head after preview redeploys.

System changes

System recap — extends existing primitives (medium risk)

Mode: recap · Base: main @ b26b0ffb · Head: bf315349

Classification: extends — the hourly entitlement-warning mailer changes from a per-user-per-UTC-day throttle to a per-entitlement crossing claim, and stock claims now expire unless the sweep refreshes them.

Primitives touched

Primitive Group Impact
app-ui surfaces extends — sendUserEntitlementWarningEmails claims per resource (and per UTC day for daily counters), refreshes stock claim TTLs while still over, and deletes the claim when usage drops below the threshold
entitlements auth extends — warning policy in entitlements.md is one mail per crossing, not one mail per UTC day
bundle-artifacts-kv storage composes — v3 claim keys plus 30-day stock / 36-hour daily expirationTtl

Change flow

The hourly sweep still reads consumption, then claims, refreshes, or clears per-resource KV keys before it sends.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved entitlement warning emails to track usage thresholds separately for each resource.
    • Warnings can be sent again when usage drops below a threshold and later crosses it again.
    • Daily resource warnings now account for the UTC calendar day.
    • Prevented duplicate warnings from recent legacy records and grouped crossings within the same hour.
    • Warning records are now saved only after successful email delivery.

Stay-at-limit users no longer get a daily 80% or 100% mail for the same
entitlement. A later drop below that threshold, then a climb back over it,
is a new instance. Same-hour crossings of one kind still batch into one mail.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Entitlement warnings now track threshold claims per user, warning kind, resource, and applicable UTC day. The worker handles legacy daily claims, clears claims after usage drops, and records claims only after successful email delivery.

Changes

Entitlement warning claims

Layer / File(s) Summary
Claim keys and resource contracts
packages/worker/src/app/user-entitlement-warning-emails.ts
Warning resources now include entitlement types. Current claims use resource-specific keys, while daily resources also use the UTC day. Legacy daily claims use a separate key prefix.
Claim lifecycle and email integration
packages/worker/src/app/user-entitlement-warning-emails.ts
The worker absorbs recent legacy claims, deletes claims after threshold drops, filters claimed crossings, and records reached and approaching claims after successful delivery.
Behavior validation and documentation
packages/worker/src/app/user-entitlement-warning-emails.node.test.ts, docs/contributing/architecture/entitlements.md
Tests cover per-resource keys, UTC-day behavior, threshold transitions, stale daily claims, KV deletion, and email output. The architecture documentation describes the new claim behavior.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 62a32

The mailer now sends warnings per entitlement crossing, but a persistent claim can suppress a later legitimate warning if a user leaves the sweep candidate set, while retaining unbounded KV state. This is a bounded merge-readiness risk requiring explicit owner follow-up.

Honor leftover v2 daily keys for three UTC days so a 36-hour TTL cannot
be missed. Scope *_per_day claims to the UTC day so a midnight reset is a
new instance even if the user was off the sweep while the counter sat at
zero. Format the warning-mailer files with oxfmt.

49-54: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Consider recording put options in the KV double.

The put implementation ignores its third argument, so expirationTtl is discarded. No test can then prove that putWarningClaim sets userEntitlementWarningDailyClaimTtlSeconds on daily-resource claims. A regression that drops the TTL would keep every test green.

397-446: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Consider covering the lookback boundary and a daily resource.

This test uses saved_packages, a non-daily resource, and a v2 key two days old. Two migration cases stay uncovered:

  • A v2 key older than dailyClaimLookbackDays. absorbDailyClaims should not absorb it, so a mail should be sent. This is the boundary that decides whether a leftover claim suppresses a legitimate warning forever.
  • A *_per_day resource. Absorption then writes a day-scoped v3 key with a TTL, and the next UTC day must produce a new instance. That interaction between the v2 lookback and the v3 day scope has no coverage.

317-325: 🩺 Stability & Availability | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Consider isolating claim-write failures from the sweep.

claimWarningInstance runs after the mail is sent and its errors are not caught. If a KV put rejects, the error propagates through warnOneUserIfNeeded and the Promise.all in mapWithConcurrency, so sendUserEntitlementWarningEmails throws and the remaining users in the sweep are abandoned. The mail for this user was already delivered, so the run also loses its counters.

The send path already treats failures as non-fatal (user-entitlement-warning-send-failed). Applying the same handling to the claim write keeps one KV fault local to one user.

♻️ Proposed handling
-	await claimWarningInstance({
-		kv: input.kv,
-		userId: input.user.stable_user_id,
-		kind: input.kind,
-		warnings: input.warnings,
-		now: input.now,
-	})
-	return true
+	try {
+		await claimWarningInstance({
+			kv: input.kv,
+			userId: input.user.stable_user_id,
+			kind: input.kind,
+			warnings: input.warnings,
+			now: input.now,
+		})
+	} catch (error) {
+		console.warn('user-entitlement-warning-claim-failed', error)
+	}

180-205: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Consider avoiding unconditional KV deletes for cleared resources.

Each sweep calls deleteWarningClaims for every resource below the threshold, even when no claim exists. For daily resources, one call issues 3 deletes, so a resource below 80% costs up to 6 KV writes per user per sweep. With up to 100 candidate users and several resources each, this adds many no-op KV write operations on every run.

A get before delete, or deleting only the current UTC day for daily resources, would remove most of that traffic. Past-day daily claims expire through userEntitlementWarningDailyClaimTtlSeconds anyway.

A leftover v2 key from an earlier UTC day still absorbs stock limits so
already-mailed package caps stay quiet. Same-day v2 keys still claim every
resource in the bucket. Daily counters that reset overnight can mail again.

Stock v3 claims now use a 30-day TTL that the hourly sweep refreshes while
the user stays over a threshold, so sitting at a cap stays silent and a
later drop out of the candidate set can rematch after the claim expires.
