Claude Code Slammed for OOM Issues and Lag
andersonbcdefg · x · 2026-07-10
Users are discussing Claude Code's heavy resource footprint and stability issues. It reportedly suffers from Out of Memory (OOM) errors, with a recommended RAM of around 4–8GB, though the experience feels like "cramming 10 API calls into a single trench coat." Replies note that even with recent Rust-related tweaks, the harness doesn't seem noticeably faster or more stable, and has even triggered OOM kills inside a Modal sandbox.
