claude-code - 💡(How to fix) Fix [BUG] Claude Code crashes every few minutes on macOS 12.7.6 (Monterey) since recent update [1 comments, 2 participants]

Also seeing "API Error: Rate limit reached" errors on launch intermittently.

Error Messages/Logs

Session exits unexpectedly every few minutes. No error message displayed — Claude Code just crashes/closes.

TL;DR

The issue can likely be mitigated by adjusting the API request rate or waiting for a fix in a future version of Claude Code.

Guidance

• Investigate the "API Error: Rate limit reached" errors to determine if they are related to the crashing issue, as this could indicate that the API request rate needs to be adjusted.
• Try reducing the frequency or volume of API requests within Claude Code to see if this prevents the crashes.
• Consider reaching out to the developers or support team for Claude Code to report the issue and ask about potential fixes or workarounds, especially since this is identified as a regression.
• Review the installation and environment setup to ensure everything is correctly configured, although the provided steps and environment details seem standard.

Example

No specific code snippet can be provided without more details on the internal workings of Claude Code or the exact nature of the API requests being made.

Notes

The exact cause of the crashing issue is not clear from the provided information, and without access to the codebase or more detailed error logs, it's challenging to provide a definitive fix. The "API Error: Rate limit reached" errors suggest a potential issue with how Claude Code interacts with external APIs, but more investigation is needed.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Given the information provided, adjusting the API request rate or waiting for a future update that addresses the regression seems like the most viable approach, as there's no clear indication of a simple configuration change or code fix that users can apply themselves.
