Claude Code Scheduled Tasks Silently Stop in Three Ways, Study Finds

A developer running Claude Code's scheduled tasks unattended on a desktop app found the jobs stopped in three distinct ways. Runs were skipped when the machine was asleep or the app closed, though they executed on the next launch. Some runs died mid-execution after a dropped API connection, with no retry mechanism, so the slot was lost. Some slots were also silently switched to disabled without anyone intending it. The author notes none of these failures appear in logs of the affected runs, so they judge success by whether output artifacts reached git rather than whether a run occurred.
