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
