  Claude Code 'There's an Issue With the Selected Model': It's Usually Just a 404

  I pointed Claude Code at a fake API and fed it every kind of error. Any 404 — a typo, a stray /v1, a gateway's error page — produced this exact message. Here's how to tell which one you have.TroubleshootingAI Engineering·October 6, 2026·11 min read

  Claude Code 'Auto Mode Check Unavailable' or 'Classifier Unavailable'? 4 Fixes

  Bash, Edit and MCP calls all refused while Read still works. The auto mode safety check failed, not your command. What the error means, why it stops after ten, and four fixes from Anthropic's own docs.TroubleshootingAI Engineering·October 5, 2026·16 min read

  Claude Code on Vertex AI: Why You Get 404s, Wrong Regions and an Opus-Sized Bill

  Model not found on Google Cloud's Agent Platform is rarely one problem. A malformed region is silently ignored and falls back to us-east5, ANTHROPIC_VERTEX_PROJECT_ID overrides the project in your credentials, and a deployment with no pinned model is billed at the Opus rate.TroubleshootingAI Engineering·September 10, 2026·11 min read

  Claude Code SSL Certificate Verification Failed: Fix It by Error Code

  API Error: Unable to connect to API: SSL certificate verification failed (UNABLE_TO_GET_ISSUER_CERT_LOCALLY) or Self-signed certificate detected (SELF_SIGNED_CERT_IN_CHAIN) behind Zscaler or any TLS-inspecting proxy. What the code in brackets means in the 2.1.316 wording, why the OS trust store comes before NODE_EXTRA_CA_CERTS, and the certificate fixes from 2.1.310 to 2.1.318.TroubleshootingAI Engineering·September 6, 2026·27 min read

  Claude Code 529 Overloaded: What It Retries For You, and What It Won't

  A 529 isn't your usage limit and doesn't touch your quota. Claude Code already retried ten times before it told you. The useful question is which failures it retries automatically, which it deliberately doesn't, and the one environment variable that stops an unattended run dying on a transient capacity blip.TroubleshootingAI Engineering·August 27, 2026·8 min read

  Claude Code 'Raw Mode Is Not Supported' on Windows? Match the Error First

  Raw mode is not supported, 'claude' is not recognized, 32-bit Windows, Exec format error on WSL1 — five different Windows startup failures that get treated as one problem. Each has a distinct cause and a distinct fix, and four of them aren't install failures at all.TroubleshootingAI Engineering·August 21, 2026·9 min read

  Why Is Claude Code So Slow, Hanging or Eating Memory? Start With the Silent Failures

  High CPU, frozen commands and missing search results usually trace to a handful of specific causes — a compaction loop, a bundled ripgrep that won't run, or WSL quietly returning fewer matches while claude doctor reports everything as OK.TroubleshootingAI Engineering·August 16, 2026·9 min read

  Why Claude Code Uses So Many Tokens (and How to See Where They Go)

  Every request carries your whole conversation, so context size — not message count — sets what a turn costs. How to see your Claude Code token usage with /usage and /context, why it climbs while you're idle, and what thinking, plan mode and /compact really cost.TroubleshootingAI Engineering·August 14, 2026·17 min read

  MCP Server Not Showing Up or 'Failed to Connect' in Claude Code? Read the Status First

  Your MCP server is configured but Claude can't see it. `claude mcp list` tells you which of five different problems you actually have — pending approval, a failed spawn, a Windows .cmd shim, zero advertised tools, or a server that was never in the list to begin with.TroubleshootingAI Engineering·August 11, 2026·12 min read
