Bug Description
Hi Anthropic Support,

I'm experiencing a persistent issue with Claude Code (CLI) where the tool completely freezes during use. Here are the details:

Issue:
When I run Claude Code from the terminal, it frequently hangs and becomes unresponsive. No tokens are returned, and the process stays frozen for approximately 10–15 minutes at a time before I have to force-quit it.

Observed behavior:

  • I enter a prompt or command in the CLI
  • Claude Code appears to be processing but produces no output
  • The session stays stuck with no token streaming whatsoever
  • This freeze lasts around 10–15 minutes
  • Sometimes it never recovers and I have to manually kill the process

Environment Info

  • Platform: win32
  • Terminal: null
  • Version: 2.1.81
  • Feedback ID: 0368435c-94db-4291-b653-ff5fe1bcbdd7
