I've never actually run into the issues that people talk about online, like Claude suddenly getting dumb or running out of usage. So there's just not a lot of incentive for me to shop around. I've used Amp a bit, and it's quite nice, but a bit more expensive without the subsidized subscription.

Same here. Works every time. Never ran into usage limits either.

Are you using Opus? Sonnet remains as useful as it was while Opus efficacy and token burn rate has soured over the last 4 months.

  I'm using Opus on xhigh 10+ hours a day, and I've only reached 80% of weekly limits when doing massive ports or refactors. I haven't once hit hourly limits, and I've used Claude very, very aggressively. I guess its a pain point for power users.

    I sometimes run multiple claudes at the same time, with each terminal working on a different task. I have 2 going right now. Its very easy to burn through your quota if you work like that. Especially on high / xhigh.

      I used to be mostly at high/xhigh but now at medium I think it actually performs quite well both on results and token usage.

  Yes, I've pretty much used Opus exclusively for the last year, except for a brief period when Sonnet was ahead

When do you use it the most? I’ve noticed that it most often starts to degrade during 10-5 US East coast time. Late at night, I have the least amount of issues, but without fail, if I’m trying to do anything complex during the day, Claude gets loopy.

It has always been like this. We actually know that the model performance has been mostly steady[0], but you cannot beat the notion of "evil companies secretly serving us worse models." The meme value is too strong. [0]: https://marginlab.ai/trackers/claude-code/ https://marginlab.ai/trackers/claude-code/

  Hmm, today's pass rate raised to 73% - interesting, are they AB-testing some new model? This is too high for Opus 4.7.

  Your data support actual strength shifts, not narrative manipulation: Range of 48-73.5 (peak 53.1+% higher than trough) with a single day shift of ~30%. You suggest people are usually influenced more by narrative than data, but provide a narrative-heavy, data-light comment, e.g. "always" "know" "mostly steady" (hazy terms for data) "cannot beat" "evil companies" "meme strong". A followup defining "mostly" and "steady" more clearly, and your purpose in writing in a narrative-shaping style would be helpful.
