OS: Windows 11
Auth: claude.ai OAuth / Pro plan

Bug: Every command retries up to 10 times ("Retrying in Xs · attempt X/10")
and never gets a response. Happens on every single input.

Confirmed working:

• API reachable (curl returns 401 as expected)
• No proxy (direct access)
• Auth valid (claude auth status shows logged in)
• Usage limits not hit (3% session, 16% weekly)
• Clean config (wiped ~/.claude and ~/.claude.json, re-authenticated)
• Claude Desktop uninstalled
• Tested in project folder, not home directory

Expected: Claude responds to input
Actual: Infinite retry loop, no response

What Should Happen?

Claude responds to input

Hey, so i failed to make it work for claude code, but in my case i was not using paid calude code. i was using free model from open router & the issue was that when i configured the model, i forgot to update it as global.

If your case is same as mine, the fix is quite simple:

1. Open where claude code is installed in pc.
2. Locate setting file
3. Replace the file within claude directory with the file on which you have setup openrouter model.
4. Open a random project from rndom directory & type claude in terminal. You will see the imported model name there written.
   Happy vibe coding.
