Anyone has issues with usage? I am on a Max 5 plan and this week I took a break and didn’t use Claude that often for some projects I have. In the brief moments I used Claude this week, I noticed myself , somehow Opus 4.8 even on extra is really delivering sub-par quality work, even when the design, the development plan all of what is needed is presented it was constantly struggling. After a couple of days of break I thought to myself let me start by using Fable 5 high to tackle the issues and we’re not talking about sophisticated stuff here believe me. With 1 prompt regarding what needs to be fixed and checked, my usage was hit by Fable 5, and it added 30% to my weekly usage of all models and the best part, it didn’t deliver anything, it was still “thinking” in the background. I find this really unacceptable and ridiculous and feel like this kind of things really make me want to just hop over to the competition. Does anybody have experienced the same this week regarding usage and how bad or inconsistent opus 4.8 has been ? submitted by /u/OussItachi
