How do I fix this? I have the same error? Tried submitting a report and it just says there's a duplicate issue, but it has no resolution.
@movingstudio i had misconfigured the thinking token in .zshrc, i had configured as 200000, and new version of claude code was sending 200001 as max token. but sonnet supports up to 200k. just decreased the number to 32k and worked
Ah that makes sense. Thank you SO much.
