What
Remote Control connects this computer's Claude Code to a server. When the server repeatedly refuses its credential within an hour, Claude Code now pauses its attempts to register this computer again. A refused credential is a 401 error, which means the server did not accept the login it was sent. Claude Code warns you and says roughly how long it will wait. Before, it tried a fixed number of times and then gave up with one general message.
Two more things are different:
- When it gives up in some cases, it keeps the remote environment in place rather than removing it.
- When it stops for good, the message names the reason, for example "Remote Control stopped: the server refused to reconnect this computer."
Why
This changes what you see when the server keeps rejecting Remote Control's credential. You get a pause and a specific reason instead of a single generic failure.

How many rejections within an hour trigger the pause is not stated.
