Claude Code OAuth Login Broken on Windows — 220 Points, 295 Comments as Users Unable to Authenticate

Hacker News·medium signal

A Claude Code bug report (#44257) documenting OAuth login failures on Windows hit 220 points and 295 comments on Hacker News — the highest comment count for any Claude Code issue this week. Users report that browser authorization completes but the OAuth callback consistently times out after 15 seconds with an internal server error. This follows several other OAuth-related failures in early April and compounds reliability concerns alongside the concurrent Sonnet 4.6 elevated error rate incident.
