Comment on Claude's AskUserQuestion: "No response after 60s – continued without an answer"

Comments

I've never seen this beore today; it happened today and was quite clearly incorrect behavior. I prompted it to research considerations for a significant code architecture decision. It asked a pretty difficult question about which direction to take, something that would take way more than 60s to answer properly. While I was thinking about it, it timed out.

Some Github issues claim that adding

    "env": { "CLAUDE_AFK_TIMEOUT_MS": "86400000" }
to ~/.claude/settings.json fixes it. This is plausible, but not documented anywhere (the source claims it was found by reverse engineering, and might break /goal).
