It seems just fine to me. This is what Anthropic needs to do if they want to survive. I'm always looking out for someone to integrate an actually good harness to a good model. Once that happens, I'm jumping ship if Anthropic keeps playing these tricks.
It's almost unusable for me now. A simple prompt to merge 3 sub-100-line files with simple node code, on Sonnet 4.6, uses up 20% of my 5 hour quota, on a new/fresh session.
The whole product with the infrastructure and Claude Code's code appear to be vibe coded.
I'm sorry if you and others are offended. They've had these issues for several weeks now. I haven't seen any real improvements during this time. I see more features and more bugs.
There have been several releases made over the last few days without any changelogs. The quotas are still as opaque as they've been. This company has some extremely shady business practices.
Why are the models quantized or dumbed down? How can you possibly expect to reduce the load on your infrastructure when 5-20x more turns are required to get the same results or even worse results than a single turn used to? It currently fails to reason about very basic things even when they're explained to it and it's told what to do.
There's a silver lining: your heavy load problems will go away as you lose more customers. You'll barely have any load in the near future.
Here are a few ideas for you to try: make CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_GIT_INSTRUCTIONS=1 the default, improve the system prompt to make it better, improve the prompts for the agents, stop serving quantized models. Put in place comprehensive test suites for Claude Code, for the infrastructure involved in serving the code and for the models themselves. Have the extremely hyped Mythos analyze your code base to fix more bugs. Stop shipping so many new features. Stop shipping releases without changelogs. Make it possible to delete all the connectors from the dashboard and to disable all connectors. Make it possible to disable/enable MCP tools with dots in them (claude.ai MCP tools can't be disabled by denying them). Do research to improve the performance of your platform.
Drop the ridiculous requirement to use the subscription only with Claude Code. Restrict it instead to coding and related tasks (no personal agents like Claw and related) if you want to get rid of the high load caused by autonomous or scheduled jobs.
Make the quotas transparent with actual numbers, not percentages.
Communicate proactively. Fix bugs. Improve the product. Stop degrading the service provided to customers.
