TL;DR

The issue might be related to a regression in Claude Code, and checking the version consistency or rolling back to a previous version could be a potential fix.

Guidance

  • Verify that the Claude Code version (2.1.50) matches the expected version, as there seems to be a discrepancy with the mentioned "Claude 1.3036.0 (cf521c)".
  • Check the release notes or changelog for any known issues or regressions introduced in version 2.1.50.
  • Since the issue started after the April 15 outage, investigate if there were any changes or updates made to the Anthropic API or Claude Code around that time.
  • Try to reproduce the issue with a different command or query to see if it's specific to a particular input or if it's a more general problem.

Notes

The lack of error messages or logs makes it challenging to provide a more specific solution. Additionally, the discrepancy in version numbers ("2.1.50" vs "1.3036.0") needs clarification.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Try rolling back to a previous version of Claude Code, if possible, to see if the issue persists. This is because the problem is reported as a regression, and reverting to a previous version might temporarily resolve the issue until a fix is available.
