This page is larger than the 256 KiB this site keeps, so one side of the diff below stops where the stored text does.

262262If no data arrives on the response stream for 20 seconds while a request is still pending, the spinner shows `Waiting for API response · will retry in … · check your network` before any retry has started. The request hasn't failed yet: the countdown runs to the point where Claude Code aborts the stalled connection. After the abort, what you see depends on how far the response had got:

264264* Before Claude has completed a block of text or a tool call, or started one after finishing its thinking, Claude Code retries the request or ends the turn with an error. [Automatic retries](#automatic-retries) says which stalls it retries and how many times.
265* After Claude has completed a block of text or a tool call, or started one after finishing its thinking, but before Claude has finished the response, Claude Code keeps what Claude completed, continues the turn from any tool calls Claude finished, and shows [The response above may be incomplete](#the-response-above-may-be-incomplete). In a non-interactive session, Claude Code may first prompt Claude to continue the response; that entry says when it does and when you still see the notice there.
265* After Claude has completed a block of text or a tool call, or started one after finishing its thinking, but before Claude has finished the response, Claude Code keeps what Claude completed, continues the turn from any tool calls Claude finished, and shows [The response above may be incomplete](#the-response-above-may-be-incomplete). In a non-interactive session, and for a subagent's response in any session, Claude Code may first prompt Claude to continue the response; that entry says when it does and when you still see the notice there.
266266* After Claude finished the response, Claude Code ends the turn normally.

268268The banner clears on its own once data resumes or a retry succeeds. If it reappears on every attempt, treat it as a [network issue](#unable-to-connect-to-api). Before v2.1.185, the banner appeared after 10 seconds with different wording.

380380Before v2.1.227, `Connection lost mid-response` read `Connection closed mid-response` and `The response stopped arriving` read `Response stalled mid-stream`.

384384* Earlier in the response, Claude Code either retries the failure or ends the turn with a different error. See [Automatic retries](#automatic-retries).
385385* When one of these failures arrives after Claude has finished the response, Claude Code keeps the complete response and ends the turn normally, without this notice. Before v2.1.222, Claude Code showed this notice when the connection dropped or stalled after the response finished, and reported the turn as an error even though the response was complete.
386386* In a [non-interactive session](/docs/en/headless), such as a `-p` run, an [Agent SDK](/docs/en/agent-sdk/overview) run, or a [cloud session](/docs/en/claude-code-on-the-web), you don't have to send `continue` yourself when the cut-off response is in the main conversation and contains text but no tool calls: Claude Code keeps the partial output and prompts Claude to continue from where it stopped, up to three times in a row. You see this notice for such a response only once Claude Code has used up those continuations. Before v2.1.246, Claude Code ended a non-interactive turn with this notice on the first cut-off.
387* In a [subagent](/docs/en/sub-agents#api-errors-in-subagents), whether the session is interactive or not: when its cut-off response contains text but no tool calls, Claude Code prompts the subagent to continue. The notice becomes the subagent's last message only once those continuations are used up. Before v2.1.257, a subagent showed this notice on the first cut-off.

23742375* Copy the block from the message into the top-level array in your `keymap.json` at the path the message names
23752376* For `isn't a readable list of keybindings`, fix the syntax error, or make the file's top-level value an array, then run `/terminal-setup` again
23762377 
2377Before v2.1.247, `/terminal-setup` couldn't parse a Zed keymap that used `//` comments or trailing commas, and it replaced the entire file with only its own binding while reporting the binding as installed. To restore a keymap an earlier version replaced, use the `.bak` backup file described under [Enter multiline prompts](/docs/en/terminal-config#enter-multiline-prompts).
