Resolved 💬 9 comments Opened Jan 24, 2026 by AltyorNG Closed Feb 6, 2026

Description

Intermittent 'API Error: 400 due to tool use concurrency issues' appears in VSCode extension, even on simple single-tool operations like Read.

Environment

  • OS: Windows 11
  • IDE: VSCode with Claude Code extension
  • Date: January 2025

Behavior

  • Error appears even on simple Read operations (single tool, no parallelism)
  • The operation often succeeds despite the error message being displayed
  • Happens intermittently, even after PC restart
  • Not limited to print mode (-p), occurs in interactive VSCode extension

Related Issues

  • #18130 (locked) - Similar issue in print mode
  • #9438 (locked) - Same error with non-existent /rewind suggestion

Expected Behavior

No error should be displayed when the tool operation succeeds.

Actual Behavior

Error message 'API Error: 400 due to tool use concurrency issues' is shown even though the tool result is received correctly. This appears to be a display/UI bug rather than an actual failure.
