DisclaimerUnofficial, and not affiliated with Anthropic. Nearly all of this is read straight out of what ships: npm bundles, captured prompts, published docs. Anthropic's own notes go in verbatim, marked as theirs. The rest is my reading, and every entry carries the strings behind it. If one looks wrong, vote it down and say why.

Claude Code v2.1.235

Login refresh tells "account on hold" apart from an expired token

You'll notice
Useful4 Signal3
Auth

An account on hold no longer logs you out; you get a distinct message and a link.

What

When refreshing your login fails with a 400, 401 or 403 carrying a recognised on-hold payload, Claude Code now treats it as a held account rather than a dead token: it remembers the refresh token, stores a URL to send you to, and returns a distinct outcome instead of logging you out.

Details
  • Fires a new telemetry event on that path, tengu_oauth_refresh_token_account_on_hold.
  • Other refresh failures keep the existing dead-token and generic-failure handling.

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
