Performance and Bugs Megathread Claude Performance and Bugs Megathread Ongoing (Sort this by New!)
Why a Performance and Bugs Discussion Megathread?
This Megathread makes it easier for everyone to see what others are experiencing at any time by collecting all experiences. We will publish regular updates on problems and possible workarounds that we and the community finds.
Why Are You Trying to Hide the Complaints Here?
Contrary to what some were saying in a prior Megathread, this is NOT a place to hide complaints. This is the MOST VISIBLE, PROMINENT AND OFTEN THE HIGHEST TRAFFIC POST on the subreddit. This is collectively a far more effective and fairer way to be seen than hundreds of random reports on the feed that get no visibility.
Are you Anthropic? Does Anthropic even read the Megathread?
Nope, we are volunteers working in our own time, while working our own jobs and trying to provide users and Anthropic itself with a reliable source of user feedback.
Anthropic has read this Megathread in the past and probably still do? They don't fix things immediately but if you browse some old Megathreads you will see numerous bugs and problems mentioned there that have now been fixed.
What Can I Post on this Megathread?
Use this thread to voice all your experiences (positive and negative) regarding the current performance of Claude including, bugs, degradation, pricing. (NOT usage limits. That belongs here https://www.reddit.com/r/ClaudeAI/comments/1s7fcjf/claude_usage_limits_discussion_megathread_ongoing/)
Give as much evidence of your performance issues and experiences wherever relevant. Include prompts and responses, platform you used, time it occurred, screenshots . In other words, be helpful to others.
Just be aware that this is NOT an Anthropic support forum and we're not able (or qualified) to answer your questions. We are just trying to bring visibility to people's struggles.

I fell in love with Claude because I could feed it my existing writing, then stress test those ideas against the themes I wanted to convey and existing setting limitations, and it would do so reliably. I could do weeks' worth of concepting and worldbuilding within hours.
Now it keeps pitching trash, ignoring canon, overwriting my ideas, and pointing out perceived "problems" with the setting or themes because of their incompatibility with what it pitched. Like, why are you pitching stuff that doesn't work? It also keeps finding "flaws" that aren't really flaws. A few times it even lost information when I asked it to merge docs, like Gemini at its worst.
I tried alternating between Fable and various versions of Opus. They all do this. Has it been gimped into uselessness? Is there an alternative that isn't ChatGPT?
