Anthropic Releases Claude Code v2.1.312 With Many Bug Fixes and Settings Changes

At a glance

Anthropic has released v2.1.312 of Claude Code, its AI coding tool. This update focuses on fixing errors and refining behavior rather than adding new features. Problems with session resuming, file reading, and command loading have been corrected.

Key points

1. 1

   Fixed an issue where large settings files such as CLAUDE.md were only partly read and then overwritten.

2. 2

   Fixed a problem in the VS Code extension where, after logging in, organization policies could not be fetched for the rest of the session.

3. 3

   Changed the usage limit notice from 'session limit' to '5-hour limit' for the 5-hour usage cap.

4. 4

   Prompt hooks and agent hooks are now limited to running up to 24 at the same time within one session.

Why it matters

If you use Claude Code every day, this update reduces the chances of work stalling or files being changed incorrectly, so it is worth knowing about.
