When it does that I feel like it is the clearest example of how dumb these things actually are. Often it takes what you prompted, identifies something as unclear, writes a bunch of chain of thought reasoning around it and just goes off hammering your tokens and just executing commands and repeats this. I’m not going to pretend to be an expert in these things but that process seems deeply flawed - and why can’t something just stop the loop? If that was a real employee it would be reasonable to expect the employee to ask for clarification, not go down expensive rabbit holes and, of course, not break any laws.
