What's Wrong?

60S QUESTIONS AUTO RESOLVE
not configurable, not able to opt-out, insane

What Should Happen?

REMOVE THE F#%^@NG 60S QUESTIONS AUTO RESOLVE ARE YOU INSANE OR WHAT? This absolutely spoils the whole multi-terminal half-bg workflow where I leave separate tracks to be worked on until something needs my attention. AND QUESTION IS A PAUSE THAT NEEDS MY ATTENTION. That's a crazy change to ship, should fire that guy who came up with this sh*t.

Dup of #73125

Thanks for the report — this was changed in 2.1.200, shortly after the version you were on (2.1.198).

In 2.1.198 and 2.1.199 an unanswered AskUserQuestion dialog auto-continued after 60 seconds of idle. Since 2.1.200 that is off by default: questions wait until you answer them. If you ever want the timeout, it's opt-in via /config → "Question auto-continue timeout" (setting askUserQuestionTimeout: 60s, 5m, 10m, or never).

Changelog: https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/blob/main/CHANGELOG.md (see 2.1.200). Docs: https://code.claude.com/docs/en/settings#available-settings

I checked the current release (2.1.233) and the setting is present with the default never. Closing as fixed — if you're on 2.1.200 or later and still see a question auto-resolve without having set that option, reply with your version and claude doctor output and we'll reopen.
