[BUG] Auto Archive

Preflight Checklist

• [x] This is a single bug report (please file separate reports for different bugs)
• [x] I am using the latest version of Claude Code

What's Wrong?

I am at 30% on a conversation and it is 'auto archiving' that conversation requiring me to unarchive it. This happens even if I am mid typing and active in the conversation. This did not start happening until I both updated to the latest version of Claude desktop and I put a thread into a group so I could organize threads by project. So, this is new behavior - unexpected and bothersome. Unsure if the behavior was caused by a regression in the code with the new update or because I am using groups to group my threads by new project.

What Should Happen?

Autoarchive should be a configurable feature (selector - would you like claude to autoarchive your threads as you approach 10% of thread limit and you have been inactive for x period of time? y or n). Otherwise, system should only autoarchive if a thread has been a dead thread and not used for a period of time.
