claude-code - 💡(How to fix) Fix [Bug] Default effort setting ignored on new Claude sessions [1 comments, 2 participants]

TL;DR

The issue may be resolved by adjusting the settings.json file to ensure the default effort setting is properly applied to new Claude sessions.

Guidance

• Verify that the settings.json file is correctly formatted and that the default effort setting is set to the maximum value.
• Check if there are any other configuration files or environment variables that could be overriding the settings.json file.
• Test if the issue persists when starting a new Claude session from a different terminal or platform to isolate the problem.
• Review the documentation for version 2.1.96 to see if there are any known issues or limitations related to settings persistence.

Notes

The empty errors array suggests that there may not be any explicit error messages to guide the debugging process, so careful verification of the settings and environment will be necessary.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Adjust the settings.json file and test the behavior in different environments to identify the root cause of the issue. This approach allows for a targeted investigation without relying on potential fixes that may not be applicable.
