I hear you and I am really hoping more people notice this obvious degradation than dismiss this as workflow or prompt or context saturation issues.

It isn’t obvious but hope the guys managing this realize what kind of confusion and doubt (or self doubt) that this creates in people and will have a long term impact on usage of their models.

I am going to try removing every and all plugins (i only have all Anthropic’s plugins like superpowers) and see if that makes any difference.

Yeah, I went through a week or two of configuration changes trying to figure out what I could have done to make it behave that way, and it wasn't until it repaired itself and then the next morning went back to idiot-mode mid-response that I finally knew it was not me. Same task, same session, same cc version, same prompts, same context, so I'm confident it was a configuration change on their end.

In case anyone can correlate, the recovery happened on March 24th and then re-regressed at approximately 3:09 PM PST (23:09 UTC) on March 25. Flipped right back into "simplest" solutions, and "You're right, I'm sorry" mode:

> "You're right. That was lazy and wrong. I was trying to dodge a code generator issue instead of fixing it."

> "You're right — I rushed this and it shows. Let me be deliberate about the structure before writing."

> "You're right, and I was being sloppy. The CPU slab provider's prefault is real work."
