What
Remote sessions run Claude Code on a machine other than yours and have a maximum lifetime. Claude Code now first checks where that limit comes from:
- If it comes from somewhere other than the flag, Claude Code uses a value set for the tenant, meaning the account or workspace the session runs under.
- Otherwise it falls back to the earlier flag-based value, which applies when
CLAUDE_CODE_REMOTEis set.
Previously the limit came only from the flag. When the tenant value is in use and the last full check happened very close to the limit, Claude Code now treats the remaining time as zero instead of leaving it unset.
Why
Remote session time limits can now differ per tenant instead of being fixed by one flag.
Something disagreesSomething we can check disagrees with this entry, or the writer said they could not settle it.
The writer flagged doubt
It is not clear what decides whether the limit comes from the tenant or the flag.
