What to do now

Most likely: A DNS, proxy, TLS or socket layer interrupted the connection.

  1. Check whether the same request works without the current VPN or corporate proxy.
  2. Verify DNS and certificate trust without disabling TLS verification.
  3. 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.

Which builds report this

157 of these reports name the Claude Code build they were running, spanning 94 releases. Heaviest reporters:

Report volume, not a defect count: an issue can mention a build without that build having caused the failure. Versions come from the version string in the bug-report template, matched against real published tags.

Do these get fixed?

Median time to close is 29 days across 159 closures. Of the 159 closures with a recorded reason, 21% were closed as completed and 126 as not-planned or duplicate. The most recent completed fix landed in 2026-08.
