Bug Description
This session got stuck and kept getting 529 (?) api overload bugs and API error on every prompt, I restarted the session multuple times, killed all other claude sessions, but nothing worked. Everntually I started a totally new session, told it to find and retrieve the context from this session, and keep working - and it did, no problem at all.

Only this session got stuck in API error / overload land

I also checked claude status, everything was green

Errors

I also found a Claude process downloading a lot of data, > 1 MB/s... on and off. I don't know why. This is why I quit all sessions but it kept going. It's weirdly named 2.1.229? But it's claude I checked.
