All right so what do I need to do so it does its job again? Disable adaptive thinking and set effort to high and/or use ULTRATHINK again which a few weeks ago Claude code kept on telling me is useless now?

Run this: /effort high

Imagine if all service providers were behaving like this.

> To make it work as you expect it so, run `./bin/unpoop` it will set log_level=warn

Yeah it’s stupid.

What makes me more annoyed HN users here actually simping for Claude.

“Hi thank you for Claude Code even though you nerfed the subscriptions, btw can I get red text instead of green?”

[naasking]

They're a business. The alternative to keep costs in check would to ask you for more money, and you'd likely be even more upset with that.

They are definitely that. Regardless of their approach, being upfront and transparent would have been nice. Bricking their own software that previously worked well for their customers isn't cool.

[stldev]

You can't. This is Anthropic leveraging their dials, and ignoring their customers for weeks.

Switch providers.

Anecdotally, I've had no luck attempting to revert to prior behavior using either high/max level thinking (opus) or prompting. The web interface for me though doesn't seem problematic when using opus extended.

Agreed, the only feedback is switching... however things move fast. Unfortunately that means for me is subscribing or using API for many providers and then just switching models when one gets worse.

If you have a paid plan, you may need to pay for more than one, and "hopefully" the drop in usage (not income) is a good enough signal that there is a issue.

I've actually switched back to the web chat UI and copying Python files for much of my work because CC has been so nerfed.
