What
Claude Code keeps a pool of open connections to reuse, and can close one that has sat unused too long. That idle limit can now also be applied by a setting tied to your organization's account, pooledConnectionsHaveTenantIdleLimit. Before, it depended only on Claude Code's own checks.
This changes when reused connections are closed for some organizations, which can affect errors caused by stale connections. If you need the old behaviour, the environment variable above still overrides it.
