731Claude Code runs a live [Remote Control](/docs/en/remote-control) connection on short-lived credentials that it obtains and renews using your saved claude.ai login. When Claude Code can't produce a login token that claude.ai accepts, whether while connecting or mid-session, it stops Remote Control and shows the reason in a warning and a transcript line that starts with `Remote Control disconnected`. Your local session keeps running without Remote Control.
734Claude Code runs a live [Remote Control](/docs/en/remote-control) connection on short-lived credentials that it obtains and renews using your saved claude.ai login. When claude.ai stops accepting that login, or Claude Code has no saved login left, Claude Code stops Remote Control and needs you to sign in again. Either failure can happen while Claude Code is still connecting or later, when it renews the credentials.
732735
736When Claude Code asks the login service to refresh your saved login and gets no answer, it keeps Remote Control running and tries the refresh again while the connection's current credential is still valid. A refresh gets no answer when Claude Code can't reach the login service, the request times out, or the service fails without rejecting your login. If the login service still isn't answering when that credential expires, Claude Code stops Remote Control and reports `OAuth token refresh failed`.
737
738When Claude Code stops Remote Control, it shows the reason in a warning and in a transcript line that starts with `Remote Control disconnected`. Your local session keeps running without Remote Control. This section covers these lines:

750Claude Code names the cause in the middle of the message:
743751
744752* `Claude.ai login expired` and `Claude.ai login was rejected`: claude.ai no longer accepts your saved login token, because it expired or was revoked
745753* `OAuth token unavailable`: Claude Code had no saved login token when the connection's credential came due for renewal
746* `OAuth token refresh failed`: Claude Code tried to refresh the saved login and the refresh failed, typically because the OAuth service rejected the stored refresh token
754* `OAuth token refresh failed`: claude.ai rejected your saved login token while Claude Code was reconnecting, and refreshing the token produced no new one
747755* `JWT refresh failed: no OAuth token`: Claude Code found no saved login token to renew with
756* `Signed out of Claude`: you signed out on this machine, for example by running `/logout` in another terminal, so Claude Code has no saved login left to renew the connection with

from line 762
753762
754763Before v2.1.224, `OAuth token refresh failed — run /login to re-authenticate` read `OAuth token refresh failed — re-authenticate, then re-enable Remote Control`, and `JWT refresh failed: no OAuth token — run /login` read `no OAuth token available for recovery (code <N>)`. The `Claude.ai login expired`, `Claude.ai login was rejected`, and `OAuth token unavailable` messages were added in v2.1.225.
755764
765Before v2.1.238, Claude Code reported the cases that now say `Signed out of Claude` as `JWT refresh failed: no OAuth token — run /login`, and stopped Remote Control with `Claude.ai login expired — run /login to restore Remote Control` as soon as one login refresh got no answer.

773784* To switch back, run `/login` and sign in to the previous account or organization again. Then run `/remote-control`.
774785
775786Before v2.1.234, Claude Code didn't notice when you switched to a different account or organization outside the Claude Code session. Claude Code kept the Remote Control session connected until a later request to the Remote Control server failed with `Remote Control server rejected the request (HTTP 404)`. That failure could come hours after the switch.

789 Remote Control stopped because the app running the session signed out or switched accounts
790</h3>
791
792When the Claude desktop app or an IDE hosts your session, Claude Code gets its login token from that app rather than from `/login`. When claude.ai rejects that token, Claude Code asks the app for a new one. If the app answers that it's signed out, or that it's now signed in to a different Claude account, Claude Code ends the [Remote Control](/docs/en/remote-control) session and sends the app one of these lines:
793
794```text theme={null}
795Remote Control stopped — the app running this session is now signed in to a different Claude account
796Remote Control stopped — the app running this session is signed out of Claude. Sign in there, then turn Remote Control back on
797```
798
799Your local session keeps running without Remote Control.
800
801**What to do:**
802
803* If the app is signed out, sign in to it again, then turn Remote Control back on in the app
804* If the app switched accounts, Claude Code can't continue the ended session under the new account. Start a new Remote Control session under that account.
805
806Before v2.1.238, Claude Code sent the app the `run /login` messages listed under [Remote Control couldn't refresh your login](#remote-control-couldnt-refresh-your-login) in both cases.
