So I got slapped last night in the middle of an extremely long build with a Fable that was interrupted about 30 minutes in, after answering some questions. I thought hrm, and hit X so I could review what to do, having deselected the “automatically fall back to Opus” so I could have control over the situation. Here’s the thing. It ate all of the work that fable did and went all the way back to the start. That is unfair to me. It took about 6% of my weekly usage, 30% of my 5h, and did not credit it back to me. The safeguard that I ran into as far as I could tell must have been some coding issue because I wasn’t doing anything with biological substances or weapons or cyber or anything. Just coding a simulator. So Anthropic, I get that you have broad safeguards. But when they’re catching me after having used quite a bit of usage after pressing enter once and then you go back and erase everything I wrote that feels really unfair to me. I think we should either: Have the safeguards loosened up (this is my first choice) Give us the option for how to continue, whether we wipe and start over or to shift gears to a different model with a “continue” option. This means the content does not get removed. I have determined/discovered that safeguards are generally triggered during thinking before summarization is presented, so that would prevent users from seeing the “intentionally broad” safeguard trigger. Tell us what caused the safeguard to be triggered so we have the option to route differently, rather than being frustrated and left guessing. Number 3 is really the big issue for me because if I don’t know what is causing it when I am genuinely doing ‘routine coding’ I should have a way to prevent doing it again. But it would be wonderful either way if the usage that is erased was credited to us. Note: I honestly haven’t gone digging into the jsonl files to see if the data is retained after a trigger is hit. I was so frustrated I didn’t think to look, and I don’t want to waste more usage. Thanks for listening. submitted by /u/Siigari
