Users report Claude auto mode now prompts approval for nearly every Bash command

teropa · x · 2026-09-04

Multiple users report that Claude's auto mode appears to have been dramatically rolled back: nearly every Bash command now triggers an approval prompt, making the experience extremely annoying. One replying user jokes about pretending to read every permission again 'like it's 2025.'

The exact reason from Anthropic is unclear; this looks like a significant tightening of the model's permission guardrails.
