How about how Claude 2.1.x is "literally unusable" because it frequently completely hangs (requires kill -9) and uses 100% cpu?

What OS? Does this happen randomly, after long sessions, after context compression? Do you have any plugins / mcp servers running?

I used to have this same issue almost every session that lasted longer than 30 minutes. It seemed to be related to Claude having issues with large context windows.

It stopped happening maybe a month ago but then I had it happen again last week.

I realized it was due to a third-party mcp server. I uninstalled it and haven’t had that issue since. Might be worth looking into.
