Bug Description This Claude Code is useless lately. Can't run ANYTHING in the Background, and I am locked in to using it, since I can't use OpenCode or anything else... Feels like I am burning my cash here... Every time I open a Background Process, I get a CPU Spike, Claude Feezes and that's it... Had to restart the session on the SAME project 7 times already... I am sure that helps with preserving tokens, recovering all that context, huh?

Environment Info

  • Platform: darwin
  • Terminal: Apple_Terminal
  • Version: 2.1.126
  • Feedback ID: db9846b0-bfec-4fd6-8585-953658b71500

extent analysis

TL;DR

Investigate the cause of the CPU spike when opening a Background Process in Claude Code to prevent freezing and session restarts.

Guidance

  • Check the system resources and CPU usage when opening a Background Process to identify potential bottlenecks.
  • Consider reaching out to the Claude Code support team with the provided Feedback ID (db9846b0-bfec-4fd6-8585-953658b71500) for further assistance.
  • Review the project settings and configuration to ensure that it is optimized for Background Process execution.
  • If possible, try to replicate the issue with a minimal project setup to isolate the cause.

Notes

The lack of error messages in the Errors section makes it challenging to provide a more specific solution. The issue might be related to the project's complexity, system resources, or a bug in the Claude Code version 2.1.126.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Try to optimize the project settings and configuration to reduce the CPU spike when opening a Background Process, and reach out to the Claude Code support team for further assistance.
