This coincides with Anthropic's peak-hour announcement (March 26th). Could the throttling be partly a response to infrastructure load that was itself inflated by the TTL regression?

It would be too fucking funny if this were the case. They're vibe coding their infrastructure and they vibe coded their response to the increased load.

It's also routinely failing the car wash question across all models now, which wasn't the case a month ago. :-/

Seeing some things about how the effort selector isn't working as intended necessarily and the model is regressing in other ways: over-emphasizing how "difficult" a problem is to solve and choosing to avoid it because of the "time" it would take, but quoted in human effort, or suggesting the "easier" path forward even if it's a hack or kludge-filled solution.

The title should be changed. It makes it look like they upped the TTL from 1 h to 5 months. The SI symbol for minutes is "min", not "M". A compromise would be to use the OP notation "m".

Whether a longer or shorter cache TTL is considered a downgrade depends on the context, so the title is ambiguous to laymen.
