[BUG] Please stop asking me to provide feedback

[vfonic]

Preflight Checklist

• I have searched existing issues and this hasn't been reported yet
• This is a single bug report (please file separate reports for different bugs)
• I am using the latest version of Claude Code

What's Wrong?

I don't want to submit feedback. Ever. Please allow me to disable Claude Code nagging me about "how is the current session going?"
It's distracting.

Thanks!

What Should Happen?

I should be able to disable evaluation feedback.

Same here. I found this report because I was looking for a way to disable this. This is not an enhancement. This is a bug, because it never used to ask me for feedback and now I suddenly get it multiple days in a row. The bug is the missing option: "-1 Never ask me ever again".

We adopted Claude Code specifically because of Anthropic's commitments that customer data would not be used for training or other purposes. Anthropic's tools are significantly more expensive than competitors, and we justify this premium cost primarily based on your privacy guarantees. The recent addition of mandatory feedback prompts (0-5 satisfaction rating) conflicts with these guarantees and potentially breaches our company policy.

As an administrator, I have no ability to disable these prompts.

This creates a problematic situation where:

1. Our developers are being asked to provide usage data during work
2. We cannot verify what data is collected or how it's used
3. We have no organizational controls to prevent this data collection

Request: Please either:

1. Provide an enterprise/admin setting to disable all feedback prompts globally, or
2. Make this opt-in rather than mandatory

Our organization chose Anthropic's tools over cheaper alternatives based on explicit privacy guarantees. Introducing mandatory telemetry without admin controls undermines the core value proposition we're paying for.

I want to report my issue as well:
I'm experiencing exactly the same problem.

First issue: There is no option to disable this feature.

Second issue: When I press "0" with the intention of ignoring the prompt, it displays a "Thank you for feedback" message. This is ambiguous - it's unclear whether data has been collected and sent without receiving explicit consent.

Third issue: While the console input is meant for interacting with code, if a number is entered in the input data, it uses that input for a different purpose (the feedback system) instead of passing it to Claude.

An additional problem with this feature is that it appears to store its state in my ~/.claude/settings.json in the field feedbackSurveyState which isn't documented in the schema. I've gone ahead and set lastShownTime to 2114380800000, which is in 2037, and hopefully that will disable this feature.

I don't actually want to disable this globally, just on specific (proprietary) repositories, but this is the lever I have access to.

[edit, 2 weeks later] Unfortunately, claude is still asking me for feedback, but at least it isn't changing the timestamp in my config.

Adding my voice to this request. The "How is Claude doing this session?" prompt interrupts my workflow constantly, and there's no documented way to disable it permanently.

My Experience:

• The prompt appears randomly during active coding sessions
• Pressing "0: Dismiss" doesn't prevent it from returning
• It's disruptive when you're in a flow state working on complex tasks

What I'd Like to See:

A simple configuration option in settings.json like:
{
"disableFeedbackPrompts": true
}

Or at minimum, make "Dismiss" actually mean "never ask again" rather than just postponing the prompt.

I actually asked Claude if it agreed with my assessment, and it said: "You're absolutely right!"

I agree with the concerns and suggestions previously mentioned as well.

This issue is causing significant irritation and affecting my work performance by increasing my stress levels.

When I press "0" I receive a message saying, "Thank you for feedback." However, if this is intended to collect feedback, it should include dismissed sessions as well.

I honestly think many users simply do not want to see this "feature".

I did not want to put it this way. However, this basically is a cheap way to try to collect data by waiting your users make a mistake by hitting numbers accidentally.

On the other hand I already have "Help improve Claude" disabled on web ui in the first place. Why do I have to deal with this separately in Claude Code?

[onursoyer]

I came back just to say this clearly to anyone reading this thread:

This kind of feedback mechanism should not be normalized.

When users pay for a premium product, we’re not signing up to be unpaid data providers. If the company needs structured feedback to improve the product, then they should compensate users or offer clear opt-in — not trick them into providing it by nudging or accidental keypresses.

I’ve already disabled “Help improve Claude” on the web UI, so having to deal with the same prompt inside Claude Code separately is unacceptable. This is effectively forced telemetry without transparent consent or control.

If Anthropic wants our feedback, there are fair ways to do it:
– Respect the “Never ask again” option.
– Provide a documented setting to disable prompts.
– Or offer incentives if you’re going to keep asking paying users for free data.

We need control over this feature. Period.
