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.\n\nTwo more things are different:\n\n- When it gives up in some cases, it keeps the remote environment in place rather than removing it.\n\n- When it stops for good, the message names the reason, for example \"Remote Control stopped: the server refused to reconnect this computer.\"\n\n**Why**\n\nThis 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.\n\n- Area: Remote Control\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 2\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
