r/ClaudeCode on Reddit: Claude Code shows "Auto-update failed" but everything works fine -> should I worry?

September 1, 2025 -

Hey everyone,

Whenever I launch Claude Code, I see this red message:

✗ Auto-update failed · Try claude doctor or npm i -g u/anthropic-ai/claude-code

Thing is, Claude works perfectly fine for me , no crashes, no issues, everything runs smoothly.

So my question is:

Is this something I should fix right away?
Or is it safe to just ignore as long as everything is working?

Curious to hear if others see the same thing!

No, nothing to worry, honestly, my auto update never happens :)). So you just need to /quit, then claude update and claude again.

r/ClaudeAI on Reddit: Claude Code Auto Update Failed

August 28, 2025 -

Anybody got the error where Claude Code says it failed to auto-update? This happened after every morning I woke up. Though I still see the new information when enter "/release-notes", however, the new releases/features are not there in CC.

My work around was to create a script to uninstall and reinstall it again after every the error happens. Although it was only once a day, but it's a pain and using "/doctor" or installing it locally as CC suggests still doesn't solve the issue.

I got it every day, I can't remember when it started. Claude doctor does not work. I exit Claude code and do the upgrade from CLI.

I can confirm, couldn't get rid of this issue yet. MacOS Sonoma, M3
