Claude will hold the thread, for five minutes
Message threads are in public beta on the Claude Platform. After the first request, later turns send only the new messages and the previous response id. A thread expires five minutes after the last request. Anthropic says token use stays the same.
- Verdict
- Watch Promising, but something is missing: access, pricing, or proof.
- For
- developers on the Claude Platform who send follow-up turns
- Why it matters
- A thread expires five minutes after the last request. Anthropic says token use stays the same.
- Next check
- Recheck the release notes if the five-minute expiry or the beta status changes.
