Started to churn a lot of high volume orchestration with Claude lately and noticed that recently the usage was having massive chunks cut out periodically while it was working. Doing some deeper analysis, Fable and other models were dropping the cache and letting them miss and rebuild. Often within 5minutes between turns. It’s not a big deal but when you have 3-4 agents with 250-500k context unexpectedly miss and rebuild randomly over and over again it destroys the 5hr window, even with Sonnet. It adds up quick. Thought that people should know that the usage problems aren’t necessarily us and very well could actually be just Anthropic’s code or infrastructure failing. Read the patch notes and you’ll see they’ve been struggling with caching bugs for the last week or two submitted by /u/Tartooth
