Requests rejected for bad credentials now get a second refresh attempt
After a request is refused as unauthorised, Claude Code refreshes credentials and retries, then makes a quiet second refresh if the retry fails

What
When a server answers a request with a 401 error, which means it did not accept the credentials sent, Claude Code now handles it in two stages:
- First, it refreshes the credentials. If that works, it sends the request again.
- If the second attempt also gets a 401, it starts another credential refresh in the background and ignores any error from that refresh.
Previously there was a single refresh step with no second stage.
Why
This makes it more likely that Claude Code recovers on its own when remote credentials go stale, instead of failing the request.
