This outage instantly blocked a complex in-progress Claude Code session in VS Code, without warning. This is not only extremely disruptive but also means I cannot even see the session text any more, owing to the modal login window having caused it to vanish. A server outage should never instantly block a local session - terrible user experience.
Same problem. Can't login:

I updated hardcoded 15000ms in two lines to 60000ms in
