# Token Tunnel reconnects a signed-out account in one click

> A Claude, ChatGPT, or Gemini account whose sign-in the provider refused now reads Signed out with a Reconnect button, and keeps its sharing.

When a Claude, ChatGPT, or Gemini subscription connected through the [Token Tunnel](/token-tunnel) stops accepting its saved sign-in, AI connections now says so and puts a Reconnect button on that account. Before, an account whose sign-in the provider had refused could sit as Unavailable with no way forward except disconnecting it and connecting it again, while the panel still read Ready. Reconnect opens the provider's sign-in for that account and brings it back in place, still shared with the workspaces you shared it with.

### How it works

- **Signed out, not unavailable.** When a provider refuses to renew an account's sign-in, the account reads Signed out on the dashboard and in the mobile app, instead of a generic Unavailable.
- **Reconnect keeps the account.** Signing in again to the same account replaces its saved sign-in, so its place in the list and its sharing with other workspaces stay as they were. Disconnecting is no longer part of the fix.
- **One email, not one per restart.** You still get one notice when an account signs out. Restarts and reloads after that do not send it again.
- **Restart and test says what to do.** A provider with no account signed in reads "Reconnect Claude to use it again" instead of Ready, and its test no longer prints the provider's raw error.
