GLM's weekly window ran out while the judge had spent ~0.1% of it: other consumers of the shared key starve the judge, and ClawMates learned only from failed phases. A poller now reads z.ai's quota API and Kimi's usages API every 10 minutes, warns once per window per reset at 80%, and the evaluator skips a judge whose plan is at 95% in any window for the (equally independent) fallback — only on a real reading, never on a missing one. GET /api/judge/quota shows the readings. Parsers pinned to the shapes both APIs returned on 2026-09-23. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <[email protected]>
