What's Wrong?
Claude auth login for pro subscribers is taking >15s to load and complete auth, leading to the inability to oauth
What Should Happen?
Claude should wait until oauth flow is complete or provide more reasonable timeout

I just need to say this - Claude Code is awesome! Hands down an incredible piece of technology. But it's inconsistent and not as quick as the other LLMs I use. All the new tools you're rolling out are great, but more than anything I would prefer just faster and less buggy responses. It just needs to be snappier.
same issue here,same symptoms: In some attempts, the OAuth page does generate an authorization code, but Claude Code times out before I can copy and paste it back into the terminal.
When I finally paste the code, Claude Code has already printed a timeout error (for example, OAuth error: timeout of 15000ms exceeded) and rejects the code as if the flow had expired.
I don't think this is an issue of timeout being low but rather when the timeout expires then it loads, because it has nothing to load. This issue lays somewhere else
