Tell HN: Claude Code is unable to respond to this request

Hey HN, I have been seeing this happen quite frequently ever since Opus 4.7 and I have no clue what triggers it, it seems to be totally random.

"API Error: Claude Code is unable to respond to this request, which appears to violate our Usage Policy (https://www.anthropic.com/legal/aup). Please double press esc to edit your last message or start a new session for Claude Code to assist with a different task. If you are seeing this refusal repeatedly, try running /model claude-sonnet-4-20250514 to switch models."

Has anyone experienced this too? Perhaps the only quirk of my way of using it is that I am always on `/effort max` via Opus 4.7
