claude-code - 💡(How to fix) Fix [BUG] Claude Code hanging on on thinking for 10+ minutes at 3,4k tokens [1 comments, 2 participants]

Error Messages/Logs

TL;DR

Investigate the token generation limit and potential memory issues in the Claude Code version 2.1.97, especially around the 3.4K token mark.

Guidance

• Verify if the hanging issue is consistently reproducible at the 3.4K token mark across different platforms (Windows, WSL, Debian) to isolate the problem.
• Check for any memory or resource-intensive operations in the Claude Code that could be causing the hang, particularly in the Opus model.
• Consider testing with a smaller token output to see if the issue persists, which could indicate a problem with the token generation process.
• Look into any available configuration options or parameters in the Anthropic API that might be contributing to the hanging issue.

Example

No specific code snippet can be provided without more details on the Claude Code implementation, but investigating the token generation loop or memory allocation for the Opus model could be a starting point.

Notes

The lack of error messages or logs makes it challenging to pinpoint the exact cause. The issue seems to be related to the token generation process, especially at a specific token count, which might indicate a bug or a limitation in the current version of Claude Code.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Given the consistent hanging issue at the 3.4K token mark, it might be necessary to implement a temporary workaround, such as limiting the token output or adjusting the generation process, until a more permanent fix can be found.
