What's Wrong?

This was reported countless times. Yes this is a duplicate or triplicate or so on. I open a new issue to raise awareness. Why every time I have to click the login? It is getting annoying seriously.

What Should Happen?

Should work next day too like it did.

Error Messages/Logs

API Error: 401 {"type":"error","error":{"type":"authentication_error","message":"OAuth token has expired. Please obtain a new token or refresh your existing token."},"request_id":"req_011CUPpHpFKkG3u8tCspjLBh"} · Please run /login

Steps to Reproduce

Work in Code. Stop working, move on with your life. Come back next day. Say something to Claude because you forgot about the damn bug (and maybe hope it's been fixed?). Surprise, after you typed everything instead of seeing the Cogitating and such, you get the error. Is this supposed to be a smart system? Why can't remember I was logged in yesterday? Alzheimer perhaps.
