Unclear How often suggestions appear while reduced is not confirmed; it looks like once every 10 turns.
What
Prompt suggestions are the grayed-out predictions that appear in your prompt input. Claude Code now counts how many go unused in a row, and using one resets the count. After 20 unused in a row, it saves that streak to your settings and shows suggestions less often.
A one-time notice reads "Showing fewer prompt suggestions · use one to bring them back". It appears only when:
- Your install is at least 14 days old
CLAUDE_CODE_ENABLE_PROMPT_SUGGESTIONis not set to true
Setting CLAUDE_CODE_ENABLE_PROMPT_SUGGESTION to true turns this backoff off.
Why
If you ignore suggestions they mostly go away. Using one brings them back, and forcing them on with the environment variable keeps them at their usual frequency.
