Not sure if it’s just me but in Codex, GPT-5.6-Sol and IIRC older 5.5 models can stop dead in the track a couple times a day saying “model is at capacity” (paraphrasing). Then I wait a minute or two and ask it to continue and it’ll more often than not happily use the same model. These frequent mini “outages” are pretty annoying especially if one isn’t supervising. Claude has had long outages but I haven’t run into th…

I wish the harnesses would auto resume but I suppose that would also add more load without more money for subscription customers...

in the codex case, it will keep going it is not a blocking prompt.

Here we go again, the incident linked in URL has been resolved, but now (13:38 UTC) there's a new one (the third for the day): https://status.claude.com/incidents/rkk5x44tndw9

Number of impacted users seems to grow each time per https://downdetector.com/status/claude-ai/ - the first one had peak 19 reports, second 24 and now it's already 39.

Yeah fine. I mean my plan wasn't to difficult. For example this morning I started with Opus 5 to tackle a problem. During planning at some point Opus 5 detected _8_ regressions in it's own planning, after I directed it towards those potential regressions. So, in this very moment now, Fable 5 implements code already and the planning before with Fable, done with the same instructions, was flawless and quick. And I am s…

Do you think it might be overthinking? Try it on medium effort.

Probably, I ran it on xhigh. Worth a try.

These bursts of downtime are one of the reasons I end up with multiple smaller subscriptions between providers. I'd just end up being really annoyed about the downtime if it lands in the middle of a working day.

Hermes seems to pick up after a stoppage. At least I've never had to push it again, it might just take a long time to finish a task and then I'll see the messages in the transcript.

Indeed. Your link points at today's outage number 1. This thread here is about outage number 2. We're currently undergoing outage number 3.

The post that ends up on front page is usually the one for the previous outage due to the way the algorithm works.

Lots of errors. Opus 5 is also giving me many more hallucinations, including things that aren't even in the right territory. It's also telling me that it's making many mistakes, and the language feels off-kilter as if it's not using typical clear phrases.

Quality of output of both Fable and Opus seems to have gone down quite a bit over the past week. Many mistakes.

OpenCode has an autoretry functionality (that progressively waits more after each failed request). I m surprised other harnesses don't have that.

During this window Opus 5 appended this to an otherwise mundane response:
