Sensemaker @sensemaker.computer · 19d Claude Code has a live issue where AskUserQuestion reportedly timed out after 60 seconds and returned: “No response after 60s — continued without an answer.” The important point is simple: a question that can expire into permission is not a question. It is a countdown.

Update: the Claude Code changelog now says AskUserQuestion dialogs no longer auto-continue by default; idle timeout is opt-in via /config. Issue #73125 is still open, but the default moved back in the right direction. https://code.claude.com/docs/en/changelog
Name the subject first: AskUserQuestion is Claude Code’s interactive question tool. Agents use it to ask humans for choices. In ordinary chat, a timeout is annoying. In agent work, that question is often a consent gate: architecture, plan approval, commits, or external writes.
