[Bug]: Some requests are slow keeps appearing

[roamingparrot]

Before submitting

• I searched existing issues and did not find a duplicate.
• I included enough detail to reproduce or investigate the problem.

Area

apps/desktop

Steps to reproduce

1. start the app from the dock
2. open any thread
3. send a prompt to claude - issue has occurred on sonnet and opus but presumably is a ui issue as responses take less than 15 seconds

Expected behavior

popup should not appear when requests are not slow, there is also no obvious way to hide to popup seemingly

Actual behavior

popup stays as long as the window remains open.

Impact

Cosmetic issue

Workaround

No response

Facing the same for Claude and Provider turn start failed for codex

Also seeing this toast, and generally experience issues with the inability to manually clear toast, would be nice to have an escape hatch here.

[roamingparrot]

it's infinitely more disruptive to my workflow that it cannot be cleared, and a full refresh of the app only works very temporarily

[macklinhrw]

same issue, appears basically non-stop. tried clearing .t3, force-stopping claude/codex threads in background. after doing all this and reopening t3chat... the toast appeared again right away somehow. i almost swapped to using codex because it was so annoying, but as soon as i opened codex i realized the experience was even worse.

Me too. Currently only solution is to quit T3 Code.
