Claude Code v2.1.185 Improves API Stream-Stall Messaging
Anthropic
Version 2.1.185 (June 20, 2026) changes the stream-stall indicator from "No response from API · Retrying in …" to "Waiting for API response · will retry in …" and extends the threshold before the hint appears from 10 seconds to 20 seconds.
Importance: 1/5
Minor UX patch to stream-stall indicator; reduces false-alarm anxiety during slow API responses.
