Initially thought it was subagents sending huge payloads to Anthropic's API. But today, with no subagents running, realized the real culprit: file reading tools choking on large files. Me: "Which API is timing out?

If you are building a direct API integration, you should be aware that setting a TCP socket keep-alive can reduce the impact of idle connection timeouts on some networks. Our SDKs will validate that your non-streaming Messages API requests are not expected to exceed a 10 minute timeout and also will set a socket option for TCP keep-alive.

Over the last three days, I was fighting with this topic in the summer house. Local Wi-Fi DNS was the culprit as well. Thanks! Codex or Gemini CLI doesn't have this issue - potential space for improvements for our Claude.

I've also experienced this recently. One time I hit esc, and part of the response showed up, so I typed continue and then it started working. Another time the API errors got to try 5 or 6 and then a wall of text appeared as if it loaded all at once. Seems like work is happening in the background but there's a display issue until it all shows up, like working blind

r/ClaudeCode on Reddit: "Request timed out" errors when using Claude Code.
October 19, 2025 -

Hey everyone,

Lately I’ve been getting this error almost every day:

Request timed out.
Retrying in 0 seconds… (attempt 4/10)

My internet connection is fine; Codex, Cursor, and other tools work perfectly. It only happens with Claude Code.

Restarting VS Code or the network doesn’t fix it. The only thing that seems to work is restarting the PC, but even then the issue eventually comes back.

It happens on Terminal, the VS Code extension, Sonnet 4.5, or haiko models.

Claude’s status page always says “All Systems Operational.”

Is anyone else seeing this issue from time to time? Or is there a known cause/workaround?

I’ve seen this too. My only guess would be that you and I have some spikey latencies (I know I do) that occasionally cause CC to timeout. Maybe someone from Anthropic can comment…
