Claude Code now checks whether this cache is about to expire while you are idle, and can ask you about it. When this check is active, it replaces the usual idle hint. It is turned off in some situations.\n\n**Why**\n\nYou only see this prompt when the cache is about to go cold. It gives you a chance to decide what to do before the cached conversation is lost.\n\n- Area: Prompt Cache\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 3\/5\n- Signal: 3\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
