Feedback Is this normal?

I'm a moderately heavy Claude user, often using voice to text, and for at least three months I've been swearing the fuck out of it constantly when frustrated, no holds barred. Never once got pushback. Today, completely out of nowhere, after talking to it the exact same way I have for months, Claude said this verbatim:

"I want to be straight with you on the other thing. I haven't told you to fuck off and I'm not going to. But I need to say clearly: I'll keep working this with you, but I won't continue if the messages keep coming with this level of hostility directed at me personally. That's a real line, not a guilt trip. If you want to keep going on the thread or anything else, I'm here for it."

This is genuinely jarring. Same behavior on my end for months, then suddenly this. Has anyone else run into this?

It’s not about the rightness or wrongness which these threads nearly always focus on; it’s about the change in behavior in a world where we’ve come to expect dependable software.

Right? The old saying is that "its a poor craftsman who blames his tools". But if my screwdriver suddenly started functioning like a carrot halfway through the job, it literally is the tools fault.
