[BUG] Fast mode reports 'disabled by your organization' despite being enabled in Platform and settings
Resolved 💬 6 comments Opened Mar 5, 2026 by srinitude Closed Mar 12, 2026
Bug Description
Running /fast in Claude Code returns:
Fast mode unavailable: Fast mode has been disabled by your organization
Despite fast mode being enabled in both locations:
- Local settings (
~/.claude/settings.json):"fastMode": true - Claude Platform (platform.anthropic.com > Claude Code > Preferences): Fast mode toggle is ON
Environment
- Claude Code version: 2.1.62
- OS: macOS
- Organization: Fantasy Metals
- Auth method:
claudeai(viaforceLoginMethodin project settings) - Model config:
opus
Steps to Reproduce
- Confirm fast mode is enabled in Claude Platform under Claude Code > Preferences
- Confirm
"fastMode": trueis set in~/.claude/settings.json - Start a new Claude Code session
- Run
/fastor/fast on - Observe error: "Fast mode has been disabled by your organization"
Expected Behavior
Fast mode should activate, matching the organization's Platform setting.
Actual Behavior
Fast mode reports it has been disabled by the organization, contradicting both the Platform UI and local config.
Screenshots
Platform showing fast mode enabled:

(The Platform clearly shows "Fast mode" toggled ON under Claude Code preferences for the Fantasy Metals organization.)
Additional Context
- No
settings.managed.jsonor enterprise override files exist - Restarting the session does not resolve the issue
- The error message appears to be a cached or stale org permission check that doesn't reflect the current Platform state
