I felt like opus was dumbed down for a few weeks... I don't say they did it on purpose, but it's an interesting coincidence.

Yes, I agree. I’m about to drop Claude Code because it’s become literally unusable.

Today, Opus went in circles trying to get a toggle button to work.

Same. Asked CC Opus about a change in a particular file...it looked in a totally different file and told me there was no change.
