A user on Reddit reported a significant issue with ClaudeAI's scheduled tasks, where a task designed to refresh a personal dashboard ran for 8.5 hours, repeatedly generating the same error message. The task failed because it required approval for Gmail and Calendar tools, which were not provided at the time of execution. Despite the model recognizing the issue and attempting to resolve it, the scheduler continued to re-prompt, leading to an endless loop. The user also noted that the 'stop' button was ineffective, and the conversation transcript eventually corrupted, preventing further interaction. AI
