Claude Code v2.1.250

Giving up on a stalled watch is spread across a 15-minute window

You'll notice
Useful2 Signal2
Artifacts

Stalled watches now give up somewhere between 30 and 45 minutes, not all at once.

What

A stalled watch used to be abandoned at exactly 30 minutes. Each stall run now picks its own deadline of 30 minutes plus a random amount up to 15 more, so sessions caught in one outage do not all give up together.

Details
  • The new jitter constant is stallOutJitterMs: 900000.
  • The window deciding whether a fresh stall continues the previous run also widened, and now accounts for the long backoff band and twice the 15 second request timeout.

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