What
Claude Code sends some logs to Datadog, an outside logging service. On networks where an egress proxy (a gateway that controls which outside addresses programs may reach) refuses Datadog's address, Claude Code now stops sending logs for a cool-off period and drops them during it. Before, every failure was retried at later sends.
A failure to compress the logs is now reported only after a later send succeeds, instead of straight away.
Why
On locked-down networks this cuts out a stream of requests that were always going to fail.
