1. Claude Code Keeps Prompting for Login ​

Symptoms ​

Launching Claude Code repeatedly pops up the login screen.

Solutions ​

Option 1: Use the CC-Switch skip feature ​

Open CC-Switch, go to Settings → General, and under Window Behavior turn on Skip initial install confirmation. This bypasses the repeated login screen.

For step-by-step instructions, see CC-Switch initial setup.

Option 2: Edit the config file manually ​

4. API Connect Error ​

Things to check ​

  1. Local network issues

    • Verify your network connection
    • Try loading other sites to confirm connectivity
  2. Unstable proxy / VPN

    • Check your proxy configuration
    • Try switching to a different proxy node

Recommendation ​

👉 Try a direct connection (no proxy)

Disable your proxy and see if things go back to normal.


8. CC Errors Caused by Oversized Context ​

Symptoms ​

Errors appear during conversation, typically caused by an oversized context.

Solutions ​

  1. Start a new session

    • Open a fresh conversation to clear the context
  2. Inspect token distribution

    /context

    Shows the current context's token usage

  3. Disable auto compression

    • Turn off Auto Compress
    • Manage context size manually

9. Request Timed Out ​

Possible causes ​

  1. Local network issues
  2. Unstable proxy or VPN
  3. High server-side load

Solutions ​

  • Check your local network connection
  • Check your proxy or VPN status
  • Try a direct connection if needed
  • Check the status page to confirm the service is available

10. API Error 503 ​

What it means ​

The current service group is unavailable.

Solutions ​

11. Gemini CLI 400 Error ​

What's happening ​

The current session is in a bad state — usually a session state error.

Solution ​

Simply restart the session.


12. Claude Code 2.0.73 Content Fragmentation ​

What's happening ​

Version 2.0.73 has an issue where conversations / content get fragmented.

Solution: roll back the version ​

bash
npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code@2.0.72

Roll back to the stable 2.0.72 release.


13. Disable Claude Code Auto-update ​

What you want ​

You don't want Claude Code to auto-update to the latest version.

Solution ​

Add the following environment variable to settings.json:

json
{
  "env": {
    "DISABLE_AUTOUPDATER": "1"
  }
}

Or set it in your system environment:

bash
# macOS/Linux
export DISABLE_AUTOUPDATER=1

# Windows PowerShell
$Env:DISABLE_AUTOUPDATER = "1"
