Paid Claude users report instant answers, no thinking — feels degraded
pinkyoner · reddit · 2026-08-25
A Reddit paid-tier user reports that over the past week Claude (basic paid, not Pro) often skips thinking and spits out answers instantly, feeling noticeably worse. When asked, the model denies any changes. Purely anecdotal with no official response, but fuels community speculation about quiet quality or cost tradeoffs.
