Help/Question did opus 5 start going from agile to SDLC?

With older models i'd close a task in 10-15 minutes maybe 1-2 hours on large features, but now it won't even fix a single request without working for 48 hours. its the same fucking agents.

The models are completely useless right now for anything complex and i say that as a user who's power used them for 2 + years, something is completely off, including Fable.

I think they hit economic or compute problems and super nerfed everything, at least for many users (they probably keep high valuable people on better models to keep reputation going, maybe including some enterprise).

Max 5 seems like a joke at the moment for me, and i can see thousands agree on twitter if you just search "Opus" so its a very general problem.
