Is this getting better or worse?
This class of problem is converging. 329 new reports in the last 90 days vs 502 in the 90 before — -34%. The open backlog peaked at 381 in 2026-07 and sits at 261 today.
Derived by counting each matching issue from its creation date until it closed. First-party
computation over the anthropics/claude-code tracker — the trend is not published
anywhere upstream.
Which builds report this
273 of these reports name the Claude Code build they were running, spanning 128 releases. Heaviest reporters:
- Claude Code v2.1.296
- Claude Code v2.0.76
- Claude Code v2.1.207
- Claude Code v2.1.288
- Claude Code v2.1.289
- Claude Code v2.1.287
- Claude Code v2.1.206
- Claude Code v2.1.283
Report volume, not a defect count: an issue can mention a build without that build having caused the failure. Versions come from the version string in the bug-report template, matched against real published tags.
Do these get fixed?
Median time to close is 48 days across 713 closures. Of the 713 closures with a recorded reason, 8% were closed as completed and 659 as not-planned or duplicate. The most recent completed fix landed in 2026-09.
