Anthropic accused of silently hiding Claude's thinking chain while still billing for it
mitangdouzi · reddit · 2026-09-03
A Reddit user reports Claude's thinking display has been quietly downgraded: the chain of thought was first compressed into a one-line summary, and on some messages the thinking bubble no longer appears at all — even though tokens are still billed. The author argues transparent reasoning was Claude's key differentiator vs ChatGPT, slams the lack of any announcement, and asks Anthropic for a toggle: full chain / summary / off.
