extent analysis

TL;DR

Try checking the model availability and access permissions for Claude Code Pro in the VSCode extension or terminal.

Guidance

  • Verify that the selected model (claude-sonnet-4-6) exists and is accessible by running the --model command to pick a different model.
  • Check the Claude Code Pro documentation to ensure that the model is compatible with the current version (2.1.109) and the Windows operating system.
  • Attempt to use a different model to isolate the issue and determine if it's specific to the claude-sonnet-4-6 model.
  • Review the VSCode extension settings and terminal configurations to ensure that they are correctly set up for Claude Code Pro.

Notes

The issue may be related to a regression introduced in a recent version, as it was working previously. However, without more information or error logs, it's difficult to determine the exact cause.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Try using a different model or checking the model availability and access permissions, as the issue may be specific to the claude-sonnet-4-6 model or the current configuration.
