What's Wrong?

Also hitting this on Ubuntu (Claude desktop app), same error:

{"type":"error","error":{"type":"permission_error","message":"Session is not fresh
enough to grant elevated access. Sign in again to continue.","details":
{"error_code":"session_stale_relogin"}},"request_id":"req_011CeuwL63H4edrzQjo9EzvB"}

Happened again after re-authenticating twice, so re-login isn't a lasting fix on my
end either. Would appreciate a silent token refresh or at minimum a heads-up
notification before force-logout, as requested above.

Claude desktop app version: [check Settings → About, or Help menu]
OS: Ubuntu [run lsb_release -a for exact version]

What Should Happen?

Happened again after re-authenticating twice, so re-login isn't a lasting fix on my
end either. Would appreciate a silent token refresh or at minimum a heads-up
notification before force-logout, as requested above.
