-## What's new in beta.30
+## What's new in beta.31
 
-- Fix: removed WebView2 from periodic refresh — it was spawning a full Chromium process every 2 minutes and not cleaning up, causing ~1.5GB memory growth
-- Fix: added Origin, Referer, sec-fetch-* and sec-ch-ua headers to HttpClient so the API accepts requests as browser fetches
-- Periodic refresh now uses HttpClient only, falling back to data cached at login time
-- To get limits showing: sign out and sign back in once so SaveAndClose can fetch usage with the corrected org ID path
+- Fix: placeholder cards now show after sign-in when no usage data is cached yet (main panel no longer goes blank)
+- Debug: raw usage API response now included in debug banner so we can see what the endpoint returns
