Opus 5.5 safeguards flag harmless queries about currency, hotel points and noodles
ElvisGrizzly · reddit · 2026-09-24
A Reddit user catalogued a series of completely benign questions that triggered Opus 5.5's "safeguards flagged this message" error in a single day: comparing $897.45 vs 150,000 Hilton points, asking about Amex hotel transfer partners, weighing $319 cash vs 45,000 Amex points for a hotel stay, asking how to best eat dry chili pan mee in Kuala Lumpur, and converting 250,000 yen to dollars.
The poster quips that Claude is "prejudiced against maximizing value on hotel points, Japanese money and noodles" — a vivid example of over-aggressive safety guardrails misfiring on everyday queries.
