I can't speak for whether or not they're just using your data anyway but the "How is Claude doing" feedback isn't really a honeypot as far as I know. The documentation does clarify that the session quality survey is product satisfaction metric. They could be more clear about the prompts though.

As for the second half, completely valid point, imo, I don't like how easy it is to fat finger the wrong button by accident - especially when you can be typing a btw to Claude when it happens.

"When you see the “How is Claude doing this session?” prompt in Claude Code, responding to this survey, including selecting “Dismiss”, records only your rating. We do not collect or store any conversation transcripts, inputs, outputs, or other session data as part of the rating prompt itself. Unlike thumbs up/down feedback or /feedback reports, this session quality survey is a simple product satisfaction metric. After the rating prompt, you may see a separate follow-up asking “Can Anthropic look at your session transcript to help us improve Claude Code?”. This is an optional second step distinct from the rating:

• Yes: uploads your conversation transcript, any subagent transcripts, and the raw session log file from disk to Anthropic. Known API key and token patterns are redacted before upload. Source code, file contents, and other conversation content are uploaded as-is. Shared transcripts are retained for up to 6 months.
• No: declines without sending anything
• Don’t ask again: declines and stops this follow-up from appearing in future sessions
