Anthropic's Claude Code bug routes commits with "HERMES.md" to extra billing

A peculiar bug in Anthropic's Claude Code has been discovered, where including the specific string "HERMES.md" in a Git commit message causes API requests to be billed under an "extra usage" category instead of the user's existing plan quota. This issue led one user to incur an unexpected $200.98 charge, rendering their projects unusable while their plan dashboard showed ample remaining capacity. The bug appears to be triggered by the commit message content itself, not the presence of a file named HERMES.md, and is difficult to diagnose due to misleading error messages. AI
