claude-code - 💡(How to fix) Fix [BUG] Auto mode safety classifier blocks all bash commands when claude-opus-4-6 is temporarily unavailable [1 comments, 2 participants]

Error: claude-opus-4-6[1m] is temporarily unavailable, so auto mode cannot determine the safety of Bash right now

Error Messages/Logs

TL;DR

The issue can be mitigated by disabling auto mode in Claude Code or implementing a retry mechanism for Bash tool calls when Opus 4.6 is temporarily unavailable.

Guidance

• Investigate the Opus 4.6 availability and its impact on Claude Code's auto mode to understand the root cause of the issue.
• Consider implementing a retry mechanism with a reasonable timeout for Bash tool calls to handle temporary unavailability of Opus 4.6.
• Review the Claude Code configuration to see if there are any settings that can be adjusted to degrade gracefully when Opus 4.6 is unavailable.
• Test the behavior of Claude Code with auto mode disabled to see if it resolves the issue.

Example

No code snippet is provided as the issue does not contain sufficient information about the code.

Notes

The issue may be related to the interaction between Claude Code's auto mode and the Opus 4.6 model. The exact cause of the issue is unclear, and further investigation is needed.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Implement a retry mechanism for Bash tool calls to handle temporary unavailability of Opus 4.6, as this is a more feasible solution given the current information.
