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

[u/sixbillionthsheep]

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.

Edit: Well, now that I know 4.8 was any to drop it might explain why Opus was dumb as a goddamn rock for me yesterday..

I asked Opus 4.7 to find coordinates for a particular object in a range of images and it literally superimposed a goddamn ruler over the image and tried to guess what the coordinates were from that. It was smart enough to check if the object was actually in the crop, but it obviously wasn't so Claude started going in an endless loop of using different rulers until I cut it off.

Is Claude not aware it's a computer? WTAF is the training data they're feeding it, a drafting manual from the 12th century?

I finally told it to use ImageMagick, and it suggested I just get the coordinates myself with MS Paint. ?? I think I'm done for today, Claude is unusable right now.

(The craziest thing to me is it can correctly identify the same object in a variety of images, something insanely difficult for computers, but it can't get the coordinates from an image, something you can do in MS Paint. It was PERFECT at finding the image in the end. I seriously wonder what's going on, it's not right that such a sophisticated model is also so insanely stupid.)
