What's Wrong?

Error: The server-side auto mode classifier is temporarily unavailable (error), so auto mode cannot determine the safety of Write right now. Wait a moment and then try this action again. If it keeps failing, continue with other tasks that don't require this action and come back to it later. Note: reading files, searching code, and other read-only operations do not require the classifier and can still be used.

I had several jobs running and claude kept trying over and over for bit before finally stopping, but this burned up a good deal of tokens.

What Should Happen?

Write service should be up, if its not or any part of claude is not those impacted should not be getting tokens burned up because of a down process. The write process that was allowing for claude to write documents and notes is down.
