[DOCS] Data usage docs omit host-managed analytics behavior for Bedrock, Vertex, and Foundry
Documentation Type
Incorrect/outdated documentation
Documentation Location

Section/Topic
"Default behaviors by API provider" under "Telemetry services"
Current Documentation
The docs currently state that telemetry-related services are disabled by default for third-party providers:
By default, error reporting, telemetry, and bug reporting are disabled when using Bedrock, Vertex, or Foundry.
The provider table also says:
| Statsig (Metrics) | Default on.<br />DISABLE_TELEMETRY=1to disable. | Default off.<br />CLAUDE_CODE_USE_VERTEXmust be 1. | Default off.<br />CLAUDE_CODE_USE_BEDROCKmust be 1. | Default off.<br />CLAUDE_CODE_USE_FOUNDRYmust be 1. |
What's Wrong or Missing?
The v2.1.126 release entry says host-managed deployments using CLAUDE_CODE_PROVIDER_MANAGED_BY_HOST no longer auto-disable analytics on Bedrock, Vertex, or Foundry.
The current data-usage page still presents the third-party provider rule as unconditional: Bedrock, Vertex, and Foundry default to off for error reporting, telemetry, and bug reporting. It does not mention the host-managed deployment exception or explain how CLAUDE_CODE_PROVIDER_MANAGED_BY_HOST changes the analytics default.
This leaves administrators with outdated guidance for managed third-party-provider deployments and can cause them to assume analytics is off when v2.1.126 behavior may leave it enabled unless they set the explicit opt-out variables.
Suggested Improvement
Update the "Default behaviors by API provider" section to distinguish ordinary third-party-provider use from host-managed deployments.
For example, add a note near the table:
In host-managed deployments whereCLAUDE_CODE_PROVIDER_MANAGED_BY_HOSTis set, Bedrock, Vertex, and Foundry no longer auto-disable analytics as of v2.1.126. To disable non-essential traffic in these deployments, setCLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_NONESSENTIAL_TRAFFIC, or set the service-specific variables such asDISABLE_TELEMETRY,DISABLE_ERROR_REPORTING, andDISABLE_FEEDBACK_COMMAND.
If the table remains the primary reference, add a footnote to the Bedrock, Vertex, and Foundry columns so the "Default off" rows do not appear unconditional.
Impact
Medium - Makes feature difficult to understand
Additional Context
Affected Pages:
| Page | Line(s) | Context |
|------|---------|---------|
| https://code.claude.com/docs/en/data-usage | "Default behaviors by API provider" | States that telemetry, error reporting, and bug reporting are disabled by default for Bedrock, Vertex, and Foundry, without mentioning CLAUDE_CODE_PROVIDER_MANAGED_BY_HOST. |
Total scope: 1 page affected.
The behavior change comes from the v2.1.126 release entry: "Host-managed deployments (CLAUDE_CODE_PROVIDER_MANAGED_BY_HOST) no longer auto-disable analytics on Bedrock/Vertex/Foundry."
