Frequent re-authentication required (multiple times per day)

Description

Claude Code requires re-authentication via /login multiple times per day. Today I had to re-authenticate twice within a single working session. This has been happening daily for at least the past week.

Environment

• Platform: macOS (Darwin 24.1.0, Apple Silicon)
• Claude Code version: Latest (installed via Anthropic)
• Usage context: Long interactive sessions (2-4 hours) with MCP servers connected (Notion, Gmail, Google Drive, Google Calendar, Pipedrive, Asana)

Steps to Reproduce

1. Start a Claude Code session
2. Work normally for 1-2 hours
3. Session becomes unresponsive or returns an auth error
4. Must run /login to re-authenticate
5. Repeat within the same day

Expected Behavior

Authentication should persist for at least a full working day (8+ hours) without requiring re-login.

Actual Behavior

Authentication expires after approximately 1-2 hours, requiring /login mid-session. This disrupts workflow, especially during multi-step processes where context continuity matters.

Impact

• Breaks flow during complex multi-step tasks
• Risk of losing unsaved conversational context
• Happening consistently (daily) rather than occasionally
