upgraded expecting a smoother experience, but it’s been the opposite. I’m getting hammered by rate limits — roughly ~100 requests in under 30 minutes and then I’m basically done. This used to feel way better. What really killed my trust though: Opus 4.6 made a call that would’ve deployed a database migration to production while the system was live. That’s not “oops wrong syntax,” that’s the kind of mistake that can wreck a real app if you’re moving fast and trusting the tool. On top of that, compaction feels brutal. After a bit, it starts responding like it forgot half the context and I’m back to re-explaining everything. It honestly feels like I’m paying for a worse plan. Claude Code also feels like AI slop lately — lots of confident filler, shallow reasoning, and it misses obvious constraints unless you babysit it. For $120/month, I expected higher throughput, better long-context behavior, and stronger safety around anything that touches prod. Anyone else seeing: • much stricter rate limits lately? • compaction destroying quality? • risky infra/migration suggestions? I’m close to downgrading unless there’s a real fix or a better workflow people are using. submitted by /u/Sharp-Put3763
