What
Auto-continue decides whether Claude moves on by itself when you do not answer a question it asked. Its description has been rewritten:
- In the terminal, leaving the setting unset means Claude does not auto-continue.
- The desktop and web apps may move on from unanswered questions.
- Only the "never" choice stops them from doing so.
Before, the description said the setting defaults to never and auto-continue only runs when set to 60s, 5m or 10m.
Why
The description now matches how this behaves. If you use the desktop or web app and never want Claude to move on without you, choose "never".
