Prompt caching expires during Claude Code idle sessions when the session remains inactive beyond the cache's time-to-live limit, leading to a cost spike when the full context must be re-loaded on the next interaction.
You can keep your Claude Code prompt cache warm automatically by enabling the cache-keepalive setting, which schedules background wakeups to ping the session and maintain cached tokens without manual user interaction.
Yes, you can enable cache management for specific Claude Code projects by running the configuration command and setting the cacheKeepalive option to true in that project's local settings JSON file.
You prevent prompt cache cost spikes in Claude Code by keeping the cache active during idle periods, which avoids the expensive re-loading costs associated with re-processing the full prompt context.
No, cache-keepalive does not require user interaction to maintain cached tokens, as it automatically schedules wakeups to manage project-specific cache maintenance in the background.
To set up idle cache management, you need to run the configuration command for Claude and update the settings file to enable the cacheKeepalive boolean flag within your project directory.
