Preflight Checklist

  • I have searched existing issues and this hasn't been reported yet
  • This is a single bug report (please file separate reports for different bugs)
  • I am using the latest version of Claude Code

What's Wrong?

Description: When opening and closing the "Thought for X seconds" panel in Claude Code (VS Code extension), the number increases every time I expand it — even though Claude has finished thinking.

Example: The panel showed "Thought for 2s" the first time. After closing and reopening it, it showed "Thought for 49s" — without Claude having done any work in between.

Expected behavior: The number should be static and display the actual time Claude spent thinking.

Actual behavior: The number increases every time the panel is expanded, as if a timer is restarted or recalculated incorrectly.

Environment:

  • Claude Code in Visual Studio Code

Impact: This is confusing and misleading, as it looks like Claude is still working or consuming resources.
