Unclear It is not clear what decides when this check applies, so it may not cover every way Claude Code sends analytics.
What
Claude Code now recognises network requests that send a batch of logged events. These are the usage reports it sends for analytics. Before such a request goes out, Claude Code reads its contents as a list of events and redacts it, meaning it removes or masks sensitive parts. If the contents are not a valid list of events, the request is refused with an error saying it cannot be redacted.
The check runs again each time the request is redirected to another address, so a redirect cannot get around it.
Why
This changes what analytics data can leave your computer this way. Event data sent through this route is cleaned first, and anything that cannot be cleaned is not sent at all.
