CCR routine stuck indefinitely at 'Setting up a cloud container'
Resolved 💬 3 comments Opened Apr 30, 2026 by nealab-ai Closed May 4, 2026
Summary
A Claude Code Remote (CCR) routine gets stuck at the \"Setting up a cloud container\" provisioning step and never progresses. The session never starts, the container never becomes ready, and there is no timeout or error surfaced in the UI — it just hangs forever.
Environment
- Environment ID:
env_016SbNzQutHAHSFG9W6msTFX(kind:anthropic_cloud, name: Default) - Trigger ID:
trig_018USzJRjmdW6xGbft7o3p9f - Model:
claude-sonnet-4-6 - Git source: private GitHub repo (authenticated via PAT embedded in URL)
- Triggered via: both scheduled cron (
0 15 * * 5) and manual \"Run now\"
Steps to reproduce
- Create a CCR routine targeting the
anthropic_cloudDefault environment - Trigger it (manually or via schedule)
- Open the routine page at
https://claude.ai/code/routines/<trigger_id> - Observe: the UI shows \"Setting up a cloud container\" indefinitely — no progress, no error, no timeout
Expected behaviour
Container provisions within ~30–60 seconds and the agent session begins.
Actual behaviour
Container setup hangs at step 1 for 6+ minutes with no progress. Stopping and re-triggering exhibits the same behaviour repeatedly.
Additional notes
- The GH PAT and git source URL are correct (verified by inspecting the stored routine config)
- The hang occurs before the git clone step, so authentication is not the cause
- Other routines targeting the same environment exhibit the same issue when first triggered
- Appears to be a cold-start / provisioning issue specific to newly created
