Hitting the limit in two prompts

I paid for another month of Claude on the Max plan. When I started working on the Chaos Screen Recorder, within two or three prompts I had reached one hundred percent of my allowance. I decided I would go a third month with full use, because paying for one-off usage ends up costing more than Max.

What I added

Then I completed the work on the recorder. I added a banner ad that can sit in the settings area, and I asked where the interstitial ads are placed so I could have a few more placements. I bumped up the versions that rely on payment, raised my target API level and moved to a newer version of the Google Play Billing Library.
