claude-code - 💡(How to fix) Fix [MODEL] Keeps hanging and not executing code edits/writes and API Error (stream idle timeout - partial response recieved) [1 comments, 2 participants]

Claude began searching files for context, got part way through the process and then just stopped. I nudged it after pressing escape and asking if it had hung, tried it again and then it restarted the searches and then said " API Error: Stream idle timeout - partial response received". This has happened in multiple sessions. Since last night, Claude code has been unusable. I have tried everything to fix, but no joy.

TL;DR

The issue with Claude code hanging and timing out may be related to a problem with the API connection, and checking the API status or adjusting the timeout settings could help resolve the issue.

Guidance

• Verify the Anthropic API status to ensure it's not experiencing any outages or maintenance that could be causing the timeouts.
• Check the Claude code documentation for any settings related to API timeouts and consider adjusting them to see if it resolves the issue.
• Try reproducing the issue with a different Claude model to see if the problem is specific to the Opus model.
• Review the conversation history to see if there are any patterns or specific actions that trigger the hanging and timing out.

Example

No specific code example is provided as the issue seems to be related to the API connection and Claude code functionality.

Notes

The issue is intermittent and global, affecting the entire functionality of Claude code, which makes it challenging to provide a specific fix. The problem may be related to the Anthropic API or the Claude code itself.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Adjust the API timeout settings or check the API status to see if it resolves the issue, as the problem seems to be related to the API connection.
