Impossible to use Auto mode for 1 week now because of classifier downtime
I've been trying to use Claude code auto mode for one week now and it has been impossible as the classifier is always down for me for all models. Every time I try I get this response:
claude-sonnet-4-6 is temporarily unavailable, so auto mode cannot determine the safety of Bash right now. Wait briefly and then try this action again. If it keeps failing, continue with other tasks that don't require this action and come back to it later. Note: reading files, searching code, and other read-only operations do not require the classifier and can still be used.
Anthropics support agent has been totally unhelpful (I'm on Max plan) and this thing has burned through my usage limits very fast because of the multiple retries and failed attempts. Basically the only answer they have is, "we know this happens, we don't have a solution for you nor a compensation, sit and wait it out".
Anyone has/is experiencing this? Is there something I can do solve it or is it better to try codex or other models?
