I found that telling Claude I was going to bed meant it continued on making assumptions for longer rather than asking lots of questions or stopping part way.
I've seen that sort of thing before - I told it I was going to go take lunch or dinner, and it told itself this would be a great opportunity to try to keep plugging along while I was AFK.
