Stale model-access denials are re-checked instead of sticking permanently

Claude Code now re-probes the server before blocking a model it previously denied access to, letting access restore itself without a restart.

Claude Code now re-probes the server before blocking a model it previously denied access to, letting access restore itself without a restart.

What

  • Claude Code now tracks models the server previously denied access to (confirmedEntitlementDenies).
  • Before re-reporting a denial or finalizing a block, it re-probes the server (with a deadline, forcing a fresh server check) to see whether the deny has since been overturned — for example because your organization or account changed.
  • If the deny is overturned, the cache is updated and the model is evicted from the deny list, so startup or the /model command can resolve to the now-available model without restarting Claude Code.
  • A blocked result now also carries an underEnforcement flag, and failures during this re-probe are tracked distinctly as entitlement_probe_failed versus a normal not_allowed denial.

Why Previously a denied model could stay blocked even after the underlying restriction was lifted, requiring a restart. Re-probing lets access self-heal automatically.

Since it was published

The entry above is what we published on the day. These lines were added later, as Anthropic's own pages caught up, and they sit beside the original rather than replacing it.

Added since A small documentation edit on Deploy Claude Desktop on 3P with an LLM gateway touched a line naming /model after this was published. If your gateway serves a Claude model under an opaque routing alias, it can mark the model as Claude by returning an `anthropic_family_tier` field (a Claude tier name such as `sonnet` or `opus`) on that model object in its `/v1/models` res… third-party/claude-desktop/gateway see the edit
Confirmed since Anthropic's documentation has since written up /model, on Claude Code changelog. * Added `CLAUDE_CODE_GATEWAY_MODEL_DISCOVERY_TIMEOUT_MS` to extend the LLM gateway `/v1/models` discovery timeout (default 3s) changelog see the edit
