104104In your terminal, plugins sync only in sessions where you sign in with your claude.ai account.
105105
106Claude Code neither downloads nor loads synced plugins in these terminal sessions, even after you sign in with `/login`:
107
108* A session where `ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN`, `CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN`, or an `apiKeyHelper` script supplies the credential in place of that sign-in
109* A session that doesn't [fetch feature flags from Anthropic](/docs/en/env-vars#features-that-need-feature-flag-fetching), such as one where you set `CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_NONESSENTIAL_TRAFFIC`
110* A session in [bare mode](/docs/en/headless#start-faster-with-bare-mode) or one you start with `--safe-mode`
111* A session you start with a [`--setting-sources`](/docs/en/cli-reference#cli-flags) list that leaves out `user`
112
106113If you signed in on an earlier version of Claude Code, that sign-in doesn't cover plugins until Claude Code renews it in the background. To get access sooner, run `/login` again. Plugin sync then starts the next time you start Claude Code.
