Claude Code is locking people out for hours

Claude Code cannot log in on Windows and always fails with this error:

OAuth error: timeout of 15000ms exceeded

I have tried logging in multiple times with my Google account, but the login fails every time with the same OAuth timeout error. This completely blocks me from using Claude Code.

Claude Code should complete the Google login flow successfully and sign me into the app without timing out.
