We’re making this change for two reasons:
1. In our testing, auto mode matched or beat manual permission review on every safety measure we tracked.<br>2. It makes long-horizon work more viable. Claude runs longer between interruptions, so you can run multi-hour tasks in the Show more

One reason we trust it more than manual approval: in a study with 1,053 paid testers, we swapped a permission prompt for a clearly dangerous command (text only, nothing actually ran).
Testers caught it 13.6% of the time, and closer to 5% after 50 prompts. Auto mode blocked the Show more

Auto mode also pairs well with models that excel at long-running tasks, like Opus 5. The model can plan and execute multi-hour tasks, but that only pays off if the session doesn't stop at every tool call waiting for you.
With auto mode, you can kick off a task (or multiple in Show more

Auto mode runs a classifier on every tool call, which uses a small number of extra tokens.
As of today, that classifier overhead no longer counts toward your usage limits on Pro, Max, and Team plans. This change will come to Enterprise plans and API users once auto mode is the Show more

You’ll get an in-app notification when the default flips. If you’ve already set a default permission mode, Claude will ask before changing anything. You can still switch modes with Shift+Tab anytime.
Admins can pin defaultMode (or disable auto mode entirely) in managed settings

Do we get a usage reset for this?
