Hey all, Boris from the Claude Code team here. We've been investigating these reports, and a few of the top issues we've found are: 1. Prompt cache misses when using 1M token context window are expensive. Since Claude Code uses a 1 hour prompt cache window for the main agent, if you leave your computer for over an hour then continue a stale session, it's often a full cache miss. To improve this, we have shipped a few…

So Anthropic is trying to save money on infrastructure, we all get it. However, it's not ok to degrade the performance your users have paid for. Last week the issue was that you reduced the default "effort" level, now the prompt cache is shortened. Several users experience far more restrictive usage limits lately. There is only so much you can do through "UX improvements" or some smart routing on the backend. Your fl…

Classic VC pump playbook - run it uneconomically until everyone is addicted, then 5x prices once you have enough critical mass. See 2010s "Millennial Lifestyle Subsidy"..

I don't want a nudge. I want a clear RED WARNING with "You've gone away from your computer a bit too long and chatted too much at the coffee machine. You're better off starting a new context!"

Ack, it is currently blue but we can make it red

I think after the TTL expires the session should be autocompacted and the user should given a choice to continue with compacted version or be hit with the full read cost of continuing with their large but expired context. At the moment users are blind what is going on.

This comment seems unnecessarily hostile.

Do you really want HN by like Stepford Wives? Dang is already doing to good job on closing on that, no need to encourage them more.

Why are you all of a sudden running into so many issues like this? Could it be that all of the Anthropics employees have completely unlimited and unbounded accounts, which means you don't get a feeling of how changes will affect the customers?

The number of people using Claude Code has grown very quickly, which means: - More configurations and environments we need to test - Given an edge/corner case, it is more likely a significant number of users run into it - As the ecosystem has grown, more people use skills and plugins, and we need to offer better tools and automation to ensure these are efficient We do actually dogfood rate limits, so I think it's som…

With the quality trends this issue of too many users will fix itself soon.

Because it’s completely vibe coded? And the codebase goes through massive churn, which means things that were stable get rewritten possibly with bugs.

You can get Claude Code to write tests too...

Writing tests is easy. Writing useful tests is not so easy.

> We may very well look back on the last couple years as the golden era of subsidized GenAI compute. Looks like enshittification on steroids, honestly.

Getting $5000 worth of product essentially free and then being told to pay is not enshittification.

If the vendor says it's worth $200, then it's worth at most $200 unless it's a preclude to the predatory bait&switch or undercutting the normal market.

Quite scared by the fact that the original issue pointing out the actual root cause of the issue has been 'Closed as not planned' by Anthropic. https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/46829

Why scared? Like, if theit software gets bad, we stop using it.

In my case T&C on using inout/output is so bad in almost Lal the other providers, that I'm forbidden from using them for work (and it doesn't make sense to pay a separate sub if I have basically two at this point, one direct with Anthropic, one via github.com copilot).
