Claude Code Auto Mode Expanded With Pro Plan and Claude Sonnet 4.6 Support
The Auto mode that is among the features on Claude Code is now available for Pro plan users. Earlier, the feature had limited availability, but with this new update, Pro plan users will also be able to access Auto mode and let Claude continue working on given tasks with fewer interruptions.
Speaking more about the second update, Anthropic has also added support for Claude Sonnet 4.6 in Auto mode. It is now supported alongside Claude Opus 4.7, giving users one more model option while using this feature on Claude Code. Notably, Auto mode is only available on the Anthropic API, and is not available on Bedrock, Vertex, or Foundry.
As already known, Auto mode is what lets Claude continue executing tasks with fewer permission prompts. Users can enable Auto mode in Claude Code by pressing Shift + Tab, after which Claude will be able to continue working on the given task with fewer stops. Anthropic has also advised users to run the claude update command or update the Claude desktop app to the latest version in order to access these new updates.
Coming to its availability, Auto mode is available for supported accounts, while Team and Enterprise users will need admin approval before they can turn it on. Admins can enable it from Claude Code admin settings, while they can also lock it off by setting permissions.disableAutoMode to “disable” in managed settings.
If Claude Code shows Auto mode as unavailable, it means one of the required conditions has not been met, and it is not a temporary outage. However, if a message says that Auto mode “cannot determine the safety” of an action for a particular model, then it is a temporary classifier outage.
