What
Claude Code fetches remote managed settings (settings an organisation sets centrally). That fetch has changed in a few ways:
It can now be cancelled.
After a 401 error (the server rejecting the login), Claude Code forces a refresh of the login token only once across all retries. Before, it forced a refresh on each 401 whenever a token existed and the call was not already a retry.
If the fetch has already been cancelled, a 401 is returned as is without a refresh.
The result of the last forced refresh is kept on the final result.
The fetch for policy limits can also be cancelled now, and keeps its own count of recovery attempts that resets on each retry.
Why
This should stop runs of repeated token refreshes, and lets a cancelled session stop waiting for these fetches.
