<p>Yeah, fair. I should've specifically asked for CC/adaptive-thinking to be returned to a working state and not the model itself.</p>

<p>I agree. If compute is the issue and pricing can't budge then something has to give.<p>They would have kept my business if they were honest and upfront. Instead they sold me something that worked well, broke it without warning, remained silent about it until enough people caught on, chose to do nothing, then proceeded to release a model that eats ~30% more tokens with no advantage over prior models.<p>If they chose to unbrick their model and offered what we had a couple months ago at a 50% hike, I would have been onboard. I've seen enough now of how this company treats its customers to continue using or recommending them.<p>Also, Codex works much better than CC now for anyone who happens to be on the fence.</p>

<p>Plus one. I held off for too long out of concern that it wouldn't stack up and I'd come right back to Anthropic.<p>I switched a few days ago and work has been much less frustrating. Feels like CC did back in February before they started playing games.<p>It also doesn't eat nearly as many tokens, so it's saving me $100/mo.</p>

<p>Same, after being a long-time proponent too.<p>First was the CC adaptive thinking change, then 4.7. Even with `/effort max` and keeping under 20% of 1M context, the quality degradation is obvious.<p>I don't understand their strategy here.</p>

<p>Can confirm. Max effort helps; limiting context <= ~20-25% is crucial anymore.<p>> * keep active sessions active. It seems like caches are expiring after ~5 minutes (especially during peak usage). When the caches expire it sees like all tokens need to be rebuilt this gets especially bad as token usage goes up.<p>Is this as opaque on their end as it sounds, or is there a way to check?</p>

<p>They are definitely that. Regardless of their approach, being upfront and transparent would have been nice. Bricking their own software that previously worked well for their customers isn't cool.</p>

<p>You can't. This is Anthropic leveraging their dials, and ignoring their customers for weeks.<p>Switch providers.<p>Anecdotally, I've had no luck attempting to revert to prior behavior using either high/max level thinking (opus) or prompting. The web interface for me though doesn't seem problematic when using opus extended.</p>

<p>Somewhat. The stewards (sub-Claudes) won't share their parents context window and have the ability to talk to one another. That said I'm sure there's a lot out there that solves for this.</p>

<p>I've found MCP is great for stacking claude code instances- <a href="https://github.com/cduerr/stewardmcp" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/cduerr/stewardmcp</a> has legit been a useful tool for me, and more reliable than handing a single instance 100k lines of code over a dozen repos.</p>
