third night this week my coding agent stopped at 1am and waited for me

A user on reddit.com expressed frustration with their Claude Code coding agent, stating that it consistently stops working overnight, often around 1 AM, and waits for user input. This issue has led to wasted API costs, with one stalled run burning ~$28. The user is seeking alternatives to Claude Code that do not require constant supervision and can complete tasks autonomously, even when the laptop lid is closed.

This user's experience highlights a key limitation of current AI coding agents, unlike fully autonomous systems, as they still require human intervention for continuous operation.
