I am on the 5x plan since last month and it was doing a great job for me in python coding. However during the last week the session limits were reached in no time, which they never did before. I woke up after 8 hours yesterday (which should reset the session counter) and I saw the 5x session go to 40% by just asking it to read the same script I was working on all the time (it never went more than 3-5% before, same script maybe 10-20 lines difference). I am coding with it today (tried both opus and sonnet) and it feels like it got dumber and dumber. I ask it what is wrong with this outcome, it just writes back “it’s possibly this or that” (which was fixed last session). When I tell it that we already fixed it last session, it writes “you’re right, let me check”. Also instead of reading the code and discovering problems, it tries to print the simplest outcome. I have Script 2 working together with Script 1. Changes were made to Script 1. I asked it to check Script 2 (if we need to make changes there since they work together). Instead of checking it, it just said that Script 2 has 166 lines of code with and gave me an explanation of what it does (which is irrelevant to what I asked it to do). I had to ask again “are you sure?” for it to check Script 2 and compare it to Script 1, and what do you know, it found several bugs. I don’t know what is happening to it but it seems I’m either on a nerfed model or it’s going down the drain. I don’t think I will renewing it. Is CODEX better than this? submitted by /u/frankdwhite9
