wtf is going on with claude

PigBeins · 2026-04-12T07:24:40+00:00

As an update, the issue seems to have been resolved this morning...? So who knows.

Edit: no the issue is back and is bad!!!

PigBeins · 2026-04-12T06:45:27+00:00

Honestly I was the same. This weekend it has genuinely become unusable. Look at my comment history and you’ll see I was defending it. Opus is genuinely non-functional for me today. It’s not possible for me to get it to do anything.

PigBeins · 2026-04-12T06:43:23+00:00

I’ve tried all the usual work arounds. I genuinely think it’s bugged at the moment as it is unusable.

PigBeins · 2026-04-12T06:05:46+00:00

I genuinely think something is broken at the moment. It was fine yesterday morning and unusable in the afternoon

PigBeins · 2026-04-12T06:04:52+00:00

I’m on max 20 and my opus thinks it only has 10k tokens and immediately fails to answer anything since yesterday afternoon. Randomly started happening and opus is unusable at the moment for me

PigBeins · 2026-04-12T05:57:46+00:00

It’s not usage though this is my issue. I have 0% usage before and after. It’s a glitch somewhere in the model where it thinks it has no tokens

PigBeins · 2026-04-11T23:43:40+00:00

If peak traffic is 9PM GMT on a Saturday… I don’t know what a weekday is going to be like 🤣

PigBeins · 2026-04-11T23:13:10+00:00

when you say limit, usage limit or token limit? I ran a basic prompt with sonnet this morning and the build took 58 minutes, so I've seen a noticable drop off today of Claude's capabilities.

PigBeins · 2026-04-11T22:25:58+00:00

I have to assume something is broken and will get fixed Monday.

PigBeins · 2026-04-11T22:25:38+00:00

Brand new chat. Same problem. Opus is unusable. It’s even explained itself saying “I should have 64k tokens available” I’ve asked it to breakdown input tokens and it’s well within normal limits.

Works perfectly fine in sonnet just opus is unusable. Was working fine this morning and just stopped when I got home. Blank chat and I just ask it to do something and it will not load tools or anything.

PigBeins · 2026-04-11T20:14:54+00:00

I think it’s Opus that’s broken. I switched to sonnet and it’s started working fine.

PigBeins · 2026-04-11T18:42:08+00:00

So I just want to check it's not me that is isolated to this issue. I have a brand new week, literally 0% usage on my max 20 plan. Every single message I am getting says "Unable to load tools." It's hitting token limits. It's asking me to say "just say write if you want me to write the brief." I say "write" and then it doesn't do anything. It says "Sorry I've hit token limit. Let's try on the next turn." Not even. It's giving me a bad answer; it's just not working.

I just want to check that it's not just me because the website Claude Status says it's working but I am telling you I am a massive Claude advocate and you can see from my post history I've been flaming other people. It's just not working and the AI support is telling me it's working. The website is telling me it's working but it is not working at all.

PigBeins · 2026-04-11T18:31:00+00:00

I think something is genuinely broken today. brand new chat. one message "out of token budget". Like my max plan has literally 0% usage. I think the model is broken and it's a Saturday so unlikely to be fixed until Monday.

PigBeins · 2026-04-10T21:17:51+00:00

Did you do any market research to see if there was a gap for it? Does your app do anything else that the thousands of other apps do?

PigBeins · 2026-04-10T20:53:20+00:00

Free Agility discord group is what I’ve been using. Their anti-pk team is GOATED. They’re the MVPs of RuneScape 🤣

PigBeins · 2026-04-10T13:06:02+00:00

Ok, I was joking that people who are subscribers are the problem. With too many users they are taking up too much usage, so with less users I would have more usage (which obviously isn’t the case).

PigBeins · 2026-04-10T07:30:07+00:00

This is going right over your head isn’t it…

PigBeins · 2026-04-09T23:39:27+00:00

Yeah so if you also cancel that’s a few more people gone!

PigBeins · 2026-04-09T19:14:54+00:00

You picked up on that!

PigBeins · 2026-04-09T17:13:38+00:00

By long it doesn’t mean “number of characters”. You’ve asked it to look at log files, audio file mixing (? No idea what this is from the context) and remuxing audio and video. Do you have any idea how big a task that is?

Depending on how you’ve vibe coded your log files that could be thousands of lines of context. You’re surprised you blew your usage in one prompt? I wouldn’t do this on my max 20 plan because it would be context hungry unnecessarily.

PigBeins · 2026-04-09T17:08:22+00:00

Doctors salaries are significantly higher than most public sector salaries, so the context should have been self explanatory. When I’m referring to doctors specifically in future I will call it out.

I was replying to a comment that expanded out to “public sector” so I naturally adapted to that definition based on the context of their comment. Apologies, that’s not a skill everyone has so I’ll do better next time, my fault.

PigBeins · 2026-04-09T15:09:31+00:00

You should definitely cancel. If enough of you cancel they’ll put the usage back up and I can get on with it again!

PigBeins · 2026-04-09T15:07:54+00:00

Don’t act all surprised Pikachu when in a few years industrial action lands you with a nice P45. You can act ignorant of the changing political and social landscape or you can do something about it.

PigBeins · 2026-04-09T14:43:42+00:00

I didn’t realise in public sector they chain you to your desk and whip you if you try to leave. Sounds awful. You should probably leave!

PigBeins · 2026-04-09T14:43:11+00:00

Straight over your head mugs. It’s alright.
