I've noticed the time-of-day variance too. My working theory is it's related to load, not model changes. Same prompt at 6am Sydney time (when US is asleep) consistently gets better results than the same prompt at noon. The "ignoring instructions" behavior usually means it's working from a compressed context where earlier instructions got summarized away.

I think even on simple instructions it fails, people who have been in this for a while understand compaction impacts etc... but it feels lacking even in cases where it felt it worked well in jan/feb
