Problem

With auto-resume on, a usage-limit recovery sweep freshly armed any failed thread that had no matching arm as long as its reset time was after the failure — even when that reset was already days in the past. The next sweep then dispatched "Continue where you left off." immediately, so a server update could restart long-abandoned delegated tasks (see #21716).

Expected: a days-old overdue reset should not be freshly armed. Actual: six Oct 14–17 failures were armed and resumed on Oct 19 after an update.

Change

In limitRecoveryCommand, arming now returns null when the reset is more than 24 hours overdue (nowMs - resetMs > MAX_OVERDUE_ARM_MS). The maintainer did not prescribe a threshold, so I chose 24 hours: the smallest whole-day window that covers the reported multi-day-old failures while still allowing a reset that only just passed (for example after a short outage) to arm.

Already-armed recoveries are unchanged. Disarm-on-stop stays in #21091 / #21114.

Scope and approval

Accepted bug #21716. Maintainer scoped it to age on fresh arming (juliusmarminge, 2026-10-19T13:21Z): UsageLimitRecoveryWorker.ts:26-47, no age limit today. Disarm-on-stop explicitly left to #21091.

Verification

  • New unit test on limitRecoveryCommand: a failure whose reset passed 4 days ago returns null with auto-resume (and with snooze); a reset only 1 hour past still arms.
  • Fail/pass: with the source reverted the days-old case fails (expected … to equal null, got a thread.metadata.update arm); with the fix, 2/2 pass.
  • vp test run on UsageLimitRecoveryWorker.test.ts + Scheduler.integration.test.ts: 4/4.
  • vp test run runtimeLayer.test.ts -t 'usage-limit continuation': 19/19.
  • vp fmt --check clean on the touched files; server typecheck reports no issues in them.

Closes #21716

Claude Sonnet 5.5 (xhigh) via T3 Code.

With auto-resume on, the sweep armed any failed usage-limit thread that had
no matching arm as long as its reset was after the failure, even when that
reset had passed days earlier. The next sweep then dispatched "Continue where
you left off." right away, so a server update resumed long-abandoned tasks.

Arming now requires the reset to be at most 24 hours in the past, the
smallest whole-day window that covers the reported multi-day-old failures
while still letting a reset that just passed (e.g. after a short outage) arm.

Closes pingdotgg#21716

Approvability

Verdict: Approved at a23c9de

Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — This narrowly scoped server fix prevents days-old usage-limit failures from being freshly armed while preserving recent and already-armed recovery behavior. Focused tests cover both stale and recent reset cases, with no schema, deployment, security, billing, or static-analysis configuration changes.

📝 Walkthrough

The usage-limit recovery worker now skips newly arming recovery when its reset time is more than 24 hours overdue. Tests cover reset times on both sides of that threshold.

Changes: Usage-limit recovery

Layer / File(s) Summary
Overdue reset guard
apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/UsageLimitRecoveryWorker.ts, apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/UsageLimitRecoveryWorker.test.ts
The worker returns no command when a reset is more than 24 hours overdue and no matching recovery record exists. Tests check four days overdue, one hour overdue, exactly 24 hours overdue, and 24 hours plus 1 ms overdue. The tests also cover both argument forms for the four-day case.

Systems and components

  • observed — apps/server (service) was modified; 2 changed files map to changed impact.

Before / after behavior

  • observed — Modified behavior in apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/UsageLimitRecoveryWorker.ts: Adds a 24-hour maximum overdue interval for arming usage-limit recovery.
  • observed — Modified behavior in apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/UsageLimitRecoveryWorker.ts: When the recovery record does not match the current run or reset time, the worker now returns no command if the reset is more than 24 hours overdue; otherwise, the existing arming checks continue.
  • observed — Modified behavior in apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/UsageLimitRecoveryWorker.test.ts: Adds imports, time constants, and a failedThread fixture that creates a failed usage-limit recovery candidate with configurable failure and reset times.
  • observed — Modified behavior in apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/UsageLimitRecoveryWorker.test.ts: Adds limitRecoveryCommand tests expecting no command for a reset four days overdue (with either argument form), an update command for resets one hour and exactly 24 hours overdue, and no command at 24 hours and 1 ms overdue.

Explanation

Issue #21716 requires stale usage-limit failures to avoid unexpected fresh auto-resumption. limitRecoveryCommand now returns null when a new arm would use a reset more than 24 hours overdue. The check runs only in the fresh-arm branch, so existing recoveries remain unchanged. Tests cover four days overdue, one hour overdue, the 24-hour boundary, and 24 hours plus 1 ms. The separate disarm-on-stop work remains untouched.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The pull request changes only UsageLimitRecoveryWorker.ts and its focused unit test. The source change implements the stale fresh-arming limit for issue #21716. The tests verify the new boundary and recent-reset behavior. No unrelated behavior or disarm-on-stop implementation is included.

29-41: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Add an exact 24-hour boundary test.

limitRecoveryCommand correctly keeps a reset exactly 24 hours overdue eligible because it rejects only when nowMs - resetMs > MAX_OVERDUE_ARM_MS. The current tests cover one hour and four days, but a future change to >= would pass them while violating the threshold contract.

Suggested fix
   it("still arms a failure whose reset only just passed", () => {
     const thread = failedThread(6 * HOUR_MS, HOUR_MS);
     const arm = limitRecoveryCommand(thread, true, nowMs);
     assert.equal(arm?.type, "thread.metadata.update");
   });

arms, and one 24 hours and 1ms overdue does not.
