Claude’s flat-rate plans meter usage in rolling session windows — typically 5 hours. When the window expires, a new one opens. When it expires while idle, that window is wasted. Auto-revive keeps the timer warm. With it enabled, Continuum sends a minimal keep-alive interaction before the window lapses, restarting the clock.

​
The trade-off

Auto-revive spends a minimal interaction to restart the window. That is a real spend — small, but not zero. You are trading a small amount of quota to avoid losing the window entirely. Whether that trade is worth it depends on how often you actually use the window. Enable it when you are actively working and expect to return within the window. Disable it when you are done for the day and want the window to lapse naturally.

​
Where to toggle it

  • Usage tab — the sub-line below each provider card shows the current auto-revive state. Click or tap to toggle.
  • Menu-bar popover — the compact popover shows auto-revive state for the primary provider.
The change takes effect immediately. The AutoReviver actor in ClawdmeterShared manages the keep-alive loop per provider.

​
Which providers it applies to

Auto-revive is designed for Claude’s rolling-window plans. Other providers surface a toggle only if they have an analogous window concept. Check the provider card — if the sub-line shows a reset timer, auto-revive is meaningful for that provider.
Auto-revive is independent of the session being active. It operates at the provider-account level, not at the level of an individual agent session. It does not keep a particular session open; it keeps the quota window open.
  • Usage — the provider cards and menu-bar gauge.
  • Analytics — tracking spend over time to decide if auto-revive is worth it for your usage pattern.
