Why Does the Server Indicate Multiple No Responses from Local Agent and Stop Connecting?

The presence of connection records does not mean commands still respond; first restart the client and verify the original task.

Determine Based on the Reason Given by the Terminal

If the terminal indicates multiple commands received no response, the server may have already stopped this connection, and the client will also exit. Other reasons include the connection being considered stale, token reset, or explicit disconnection; these cannot be uniformly explained as simple idleness. First record the reason text, confirm whether the target machine was asleep, if the network changed, and whether the original task still shows as running when this occurred.

Restart the Actual Execution Client

After confirming the old client has exited, go to Current Settings → Remote Control Copy Command, and restart Local Agent on the target computer. Wait until authentication and command relay are complete, then check the connection list. Do not just refresh the chat page expecting the stopped terminal process to come back on its own, nor treat the desktop connection retry button as an operation to restart the CLI on another computer.

Check Status After Recovery

No response means results were not reliably received and does not prove the old command was not executed at all. First check the original task output and target files; if necessary, perform read-only checks to understand what has been completed before continuing the remaining work. For writing files, installations, or external requests, avoid rerunning the entire step directly. If the new connection still quickly loses response, keep the time, system, and sanitized error logs; do not repeatedly reset tokens to mask the cause.
