What
Claude Code now wraps the global setTimeout and setInterval functions at startup so that any delay value greater than 2147483647 (Node.js's 32-bit limit for these timers) is automatically clamped down to that maximum before the timer runs. When a clamp happens, it logs a warning and, once per relevant case, records telemetry about it.
Why
Without this, a timer scheduled with too large a delay would silently fire almost immediately instead of after the intended wait, an easy-to-miss bug; clamping it and warning makes that situation visible instead of silent.
