What to do now
Most likely: A DNS, proxy, TLS or socket layer interrupted the connection.
- Check whether the same request works without the current VPN or corporate proxy.
- Verify DNS and certificate trust without disabling TLS verification.
- Capture the hostname and exact socket code before escalating.
These are conservative triage steps, not an official Anthropic fix. Use the issue and workaround evidence below before making a destructive configuration change.
Is this getting better or worse?
This class of problem is converging. 14 new reports in the last 90 days vs 141 in the 90 before — -90%. The open backlog peaked at 43 in 2026-04 and sits at 9 today.
Derived by counting each matching issue from its creation date until it closed. First-party
computation over the anthropics/claude-code tracker — the trend is not published
anywhere upstream.
