Founder of 1Password here. I am sorry to hear about your experience getting worse.

Any chance you are not using 1Password 8 today?

The problem with 1Password 7 or earlier versions is that the surrounding environment changes and the older versions do not receive updates to keep up. This certainly makes the overall experience worse with time.

I’m pretty sure it’s 1p8 - I’ll check when back at my desk.

It’s specifically after it has locked itself, the little icon with a padlock appears in the username field, click it, touch ID, it unlocks … and the icon remains as a padlocked 1p until I either reload the page, click out and back in, or wait something like 15-20 seconds.

This reply speaks volumes;

- Customers complain about regression in quality related to the move from native to Electron

- 1Password reply: try the latest 1P Electron

To conclude: the reason to use the new Electron version anyway, is that the old efficient native version will (soon) become even worse than the Electron version, since it's no longer being updated.
