Unclear The actual time limits are not stated, so it is not known whether the batch limit is longer than the default.
What
In Claude in Chrome, a browser_batch call bundles several browser actions into one. Claude Code now gives these calls their own time limit before it gives up waiting for them. All other tools keep the default limit.
Why
A batch of several browser actions can take longer than a single action, so it now has a separate limit from other tools.
