What
A self-hosted runner is a machine you run yourself that picks up Claude Code work by checking in, or polling, regularly. When a poll fails, the runner waits before trying again. That wait is now worked out without an extra limit that used to cap it.
Why
If you operate self-hosted runners, the timing of retries after failed polls may differ from before.
