Claude Code: constantly seeing 'API Error (Request timed out...)' - Retrying in .. seconds.. (attempt x/10)' #2728

Description

roughly in the past 48 hours, since about my update to claude code 0.3.5, I'm getting these error messages most of the time I make requests. Pressing escape often doesn't keep the error messages from continuing to appear, counting to attempt 10/10 after which it stops trying to do anything. Logging out and back in didn't help, rebooting server didn't help. there are no connectivity issues of which I'm aware.

I was mostly using Opus lately, but Sonnet seems to have the same issues.
