Bug report

A scheduled Routine run has been stuck in "En cours d'exécution" (running) state since April 18, 2026 at 14:05 UTC+2. It never completed or timed out.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Create a daily Routine running at 14:00 UTC+2
  2. Observe the April 18 execution — it never terminated
  3. The run still shows "En cours d'exécution" 2 days later

Expected behavior

The run should either complete (success/failure) or timeout after a reasonable duration.

Actual behavior

The execution is permanently stuck in "running" state with no way to cancel it from the UI. Subsequent runs (April 19, April 20) completed successfully, so the zombie run does not block new executions, but it may consume usage quota.

Environment

  • Platform: Claude.ai web (Routines)
  • Run type: Programmé (scheduled)
  • Routine: remote ("À distance")

What Should Happen?

The scheduled Routine run should complete (success or failure) within a reasonable time, or timeout automatically. A cancel/stop button should be available in the UI to terminate a stuck run manually.

Error Messages/Logs

No error message visible. The run shows "En cours d'exécution" (running) 
indefinitely with no output, no error, and no cancel button in the 
Routines execution history panel.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Create a daily scheduled Routine on claude.ai web (Routines feature)
  2. Let it run — if the execution hangs, it enters an infinite "running" state
  3. Navigate to Routines → execution history
  4. Observe: the stuck run shows "En cours d'exécution" with no cancel button
  5. Subsequent scheduled runs complete successfully, but the zombie run remains stuck indefinitely (confirmed: 2+ days stuck)

Note: closest related issue is #40534 (different feature, same hang pattern)

extent analysis

TL;DR

The scheduled Routine run is stuck in a "running" state due to an unknown issue, and a potential workaround is to investigate and potentially modify the routine's configuration or the underlying system to allow for proper timeout or cancellation.

Guidance

  • Investigate the routine's configuration and the system's timeout settings to see if there's a misconfiguration that's causing the routine to hang indefinitely.
  • Check if there are any system or network issues that could be preventing the routine from completing or timing out.
  • Consider reaching out to the developers or support team to see if there's a known issue with the Opus model or the Claude Code version 1.3561.0 that could be causing this problem.
  • Review the related issue #40534 to see if there are any similarities or potential solutions that could be applied to this case.

Notes

The lack of error messages or logs makes it difficult to determine the root cause of the issue, and the fact that subsequent runs complete successfully suggests that the problem may be specific to this particular routine or execution.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Since the issue is unclear and there's no clear indication of a regression or a fix in a later version, the best course of action is to try to work around the issue by investigating and modifying the routine's configuration or the underlying system.
