Claude-4-sonnet MAX Thinking

Thanks @CK-iRonin.IT we are still seeing this issue on some Sonnet 4 requests and are looking for specific causes.

Does this happen only on requests with MCPs?

It only happened 2 times for me—somewhere beginning of the last week and yesterday, so I can’t draw conclusions.

When it got into the loop yesterday, the chat stopped after a few loops, like on my screenshot, and failed with a VPN error, IIRC. I didn’t notice the loop, just the VPN error, and I tried to resume the chat, and it kept failing with the same error. Then I saw what was happening.

I think the first time, it wasn’t using any MCP and was looping until I noticed and stopped it. I thought it was s one time hiccup the first time.

Still happening in 1.3.8 Auto:

@CK-iRonin.IT Could you post a Request ID with privacy disabled so we can look into the details?
