550550When auto mode can't approve your session's actions, what happens depends on the case:
551551
552* **A blocked action**: Claude Code shows a notification and lists the action in `/permissions` under the **Recently denied** tab, where you can press `r` to retry it with a manual approval.
552* **A blocked action**: Claude Code shows a notification and lists the action in `/permissions` under the **Recently blocked** tab, where you can [approve the action so Claude may retry](https://code.claude.com/docs/en/auto-mode-config.md#review-denials).
553553* **Repeated blocks**: if the classifier blocks an action 3 times in a row or 20 times total, auto mode pauses and Claude Code resumes prompting. Approving the prompted action resumes auto mode. See [Repeated-block thresholds](#repeated-block-thresholds) for how the blocks are counted.
554* **No verdict from the classifier**: when a safety check separate from auto mode refuses the classifier's own request, or the classifier's response doesn't parse, Claude Code denies the action without the notification or the **Recently denied** entry. See [Auto mode cannot determine the safety of an action](https://code.claude.com/docs/en/errors.md#auto-mode-cannot-determine-the-safety-of-an-action) for the message each case shows and what to do.
554* **No verdict from the classifier**: when a safety check separate from auto mode refuses the classifier's own request, or the classifier's response doesn't parse, Claude Code blocks the action without the notification or the **Recently blocked** entry. See [Auto mode cannot determine the safety of an action](https://code.claude.com/docs/en/errors.md#auto-mode-cannot-determine-the-safety-of-an-action) for the message each case shows and what to do.
555555* **No verdict from the server**: under [server-side classifier review](#server-side-classifier-review), Claude Code denies an action the server gives no verdict for, and stops the turn after ten responses in a row with no verdict. See [The server returned no safety verdict](https://code.claude.com/docs/en/errors.md#the-server-returned-no-safety-verdict).
556556* **A mode switch during a check**: if you switch permission modes while a classifier check is pending, Claude Code discards a verdict the new mode wouldn't have requested. You're prompted for approval instead, or the action is auto-denied in [`dontAsk` mode](#allow-only-pre-approved-tools-with-dontask-mode).
