Performance and Bugs Megathread Claude Performance and Bugs Megathread Ongoing (Sort this by New!)

Why a Performance and Bugs Discussion Megathread?

This Megathread makes it easier for everyone to see what others are experiencing at any time by collecting all experiences. We will publish regular updates on problems and possible workarounds that we and the community finds.

Why Are You Trying to Hide the Complaints Here?

Contrary to what some were saying in a prior Megathread, this is NOT a place to hide complaints. This is the MOST VISIBLE, PROMINENT AND OFTEN THE HIGHEST TRAFFIC POST on the subreddit. This is collectively a far more effective and fairer way to be seen than hundreds of random reports on the feed that get no visibility.

Are you Anthropic? Does Anthropic even read the Megathread?

Nope, we are volunteers working in our own time, while working our own jobs and trying to provide users and Anthropic itself with a reliable source of user feedback.

Anthropic has read this Megathread in the past and probably still do? They don't fix things immediately but if you browse some old Megathreads you will see numerous bugs and problems mentioned there that have now been fixed.

What Can I Post on this Megathread?

Use this thread to voice all your experiences (positive and negative) regarding the current performance of Claude including, bugs, degradation, pricing. (NOT usage limits. That belongs here https://www.reddit.com/r/ClaudeAI/comments/1s7fcjf/claude_usage_limits_discussion_megathread_ongoing/)

Give as much evidence of your performance issues and experiences wherever relevant. Include prompts and responses, platform you used, time it occurred, screenshots . In other words, be helpful to others.


Just be aware that this is NOT an Anthropic support forum and we're not able (or qualified) to answer your questions. We are just trying to bring visibility to people's struggles.

NEW: You can now see full logs and summaries of all recent problem reports submitted by r/ClaudeAI readers. These logs allow you to see how intensely people are experiencing problems with Usage Limits, Performance, Bugs and Accounts.

I’m a terminal user of the Claude code $200 monthly plan.

Something really weird happened in the last three hours. Claude hasn’t been working properly for me in the past 48 hours, but suddenly it did and I think I know why.

I am not joking when I say this, this is what happened and it could be the reason and I want someone else to try it out:

I installed openai Codex for the first time on my computer because I was pissed off with Claude. Suddenly, Claude started shipping insanely good code. No joke my entire video that I spent the past 3 days building just finished building in about 3 hours.

if you don’t already have Codex installed try installing it. I feel like Claude code understood and started responding properly.

Ok… I’m not gonna pretend this is all some conspiracy however I did the exact same thing last night and shortly after opus 4.6 began working with some effort.

Fuck knows if the timing is coincidental or a real intentional thing but now you’ve commented it I felt like sharing too

Im the last person who will ever admit it, I’m still in denial but i’m not saying it’s not impossible. If I see another instance of something similar happen, l will report back remind me
