Recommended action: Check status page; switch model with /model; for unattended CI set CLAUDE_CODE_RETRY_WATCHDOG=1 to retry 429/529 capacity errors indefinitely instead of failing after CLAUDE_CODE_MAX_RETRIES.
Option: Enable retry watchdog for unattended runs [evidence: official_recommended_action]
Applies when: CI / scripted claude -p runs
Steps:
1. export CLAUDE_CODE_RETRY_WATCHDOG=1 (v2.1.199+)
2. Optionally raise CLAUDE_CODE_MAX_RETRIES
