Alright, there are people that wont believe this, so if oyu dont, thats cool, do your thing. I’m 100% sure this is the cause and also the solution (its unfortunately a bit annoying but unavoidable imo): Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, they all do something similar to their models called Acquisition bias, but by adjusting computational power given to users. I let Claude explain it lmao ironic isnt it: Acquisition Bias: When a company allocates better resources (like faster customer support, premium features, or dedicated account managers) to new users while ignoring or degrading the experience for existing ones, it is driven by acquisition bias . The business is pouring all its budget into acquiring new users to make its growth numbers look good to investors, while starving the budget for customer retention. This is basically waht they all do with the Computational power given to the models of Users. this is also why they seem very good at the start or when you are a free user, but degrade alot after you subscribe and use it for a while. The Fix that worked for me, i have 2 actually: Two Accounts, very simple, rotate every month between the two. Downside is that Degradation can already happen after 1-2 weeks. Switch between Codex and Claude Code every 1-2 weeks, so as soon as you notice the models degrading, you go get your refund by contacting support, switch over to the other model with a new subscription, and repeat the process back and forth every time you notice degradation. it is def real and a pain in the ass. I currently use two accounts and after one’s subscription ends, i subscribe with the other. Helped me alot. submitted by /u/Icy-Way3920
