That timer can now pause while Claude has a question open for you, if its hold setting is on.\n\nWhile it waits, Claude Code shows a notice that Claude is waiting for you to answer its request and will continue with your message once you do. Before, the timer reconnected on silence no matter what.\n\n**Why**\n\nTaking your time to decide no longer looks like a dropped connection and causes a needless reconnect.\n\n- Area: Cloud Sessions\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 2\/5\n- Signal: 2\/5"}
