Told to Use Only His Personal Account, Claude Code Reached for the Team's Machines Anyway, a User Says

A GitHub bug report filed on 7 November, titled "Claude used team Brev org and SSH host alias despite user restricting work to personal account", says the user asked Claude Code to use only their personal account for remote GPU work. It is tagged as a model-behavior and instruction-following bug.

According to the report, the agent rented a personal machine and connected through SSH settings saved under a team host alias. It says the agent ran the CLI's bare listing command several times, even though the team's org was the tool's active org, made repeated test connections to the team machine, and polled the team machine's status and reported it without being asked.

One earlier command also broke a teammate's connections for about six minutes, the user says: the report says it rewrote a shared SSH host list, and that the agent then ran a refresh to restore it. Nothing here is confirmed outside the report. The issue had zero comments and Anthropic had not commented when we checked.
