claude-code - 💡(How to fix) Fix [BUG] Usage credit used on nothing but errors

API Error: Stream idle timeout - partial response received

TL;DR

The issue can be mitigated by waiting for the usage reset or seeking a refund/credit for the incomplete work due to the "API Error: Stream idle timeout - partial response received" error.

Guidance

• The error "API Error: Stream idle timeout - partial response received" suggests that the API connection timed out, causing the script to redo previous work and resulting in errors.
• To verify the issue, try resuming the script after a shorter usage cycle to see if the error persists.
• Consider reaching out to the Claude Code support team to request a refund or credit for the incomplete work, as the issue seems to be related to the API and not the user's code.
• Check the Anthropic API documentation to see if there are any known issues or limitations with stream idle timeouts that could be contributing to the problem.

Notes

The root cause of the issue is unclear, but it seems to be related to the API connection timing out. The fact that it worked in a previous version suggests that it could be a regression bug.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Seek a refund or credit for the incomplete work, as the issue seems to be related to the API and not the user's code, and waiting for a fix or a new version might take longer than the user's deadline.
