Choosing auto mode now first checks whether auto mode is available to you. If that check has not come back yet, the switch is refused with this message:\n\n`Cannot set permission mode to auto: auto mode availability is not known yet \u00b7 ask again`\n\nWhen your settings change, Claude Code runs the check again.\n\n**Why**\n\nAuto mode can now be refused or put off while its availability is unknown. If you see the message above, wait a moment and ask for auto mode again.\n\n- Area: Auto Mode\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 2\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: yes"}
