The idea here is that your conversation is being swapped out for no good reason. The session is still active, as the subagents continue to make progress.

How is this comparable to going to lunch or taking a walk?

CC actually prompts Claude about this by default in the ~20k system prompt and instructs it to avoid 300s timeout and to be mindful of the 300s cache expiration.

CC also will also block sleeps longer than eg 300s; the harness handholds the model quite a bit.
