Tell HN: Claude is using my limits even though it's infra is failing

1 points by throwaw12 15h ago ↗ HN

I am using Claude design, and a lot of times it's agent is failing mid-task, with connection errors (not sure is this connection between me and agent, or between agent in Claude infra and relevant LLM model)

When these errors happen:

1. My limits have been consumed already

2. There is no resume button, there is only retry, which starts again

3. Even retry fails, then consumes my tokens.

I had some chats where I lost 80% my limits by retrying the task, with no luck of completing it.

Anthropic, please fix this

HN is not Claude support.

Noticed similar behaviour (request is processed, but don't get response due to connection error) in Claude app. Solution is to a) report to Anthropic (thumbs down button and send a message from help menu) b) after a connection issue don't retry. I don't use Claude design, but in the Claude app you can reload and often the completed task/chat will appear in recents when the network issue is resolved.
