Having the same issue. Tried:

  1. Logging out, then logging in again.
  2. Uninstalling and reinstalling.
  3. Running in iterm instead of in vscode

None of these fixes worked approach worked.

Same here. From the responses I assume Anthropics API is down.

Last version that works is:

npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code@0.2.39

I get:

I cannot even send a message now, hitting the enter after typing in a message does nothing

Downgrading got it working for me thanks to this tip:
npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code@0.2.39
