I've seen big drops in Opus 5.5 (on high/x-high) & Fable. Both in terms of following instructions / workflows execution and overall code quality. Also the token burn-rate increased a lot, I've reached limits of 3 Ultra subscriptions during last week & had to spend 1.5k on API usage during the weekend just to be frustrated with the stupidity of the output.

Weirdly enough, Sonnet quality seems unchanged.

You rewarded Anthropic's failure with more dollar spend. I get why you did it but...
