Reddit user: GPT-5.6 Sol nerfed so hard it needs 3 tries to swap a font, at 3x token price

A Reddit user complains that GPT-5.6 Sol has been heavily nerfed: a trivial font-swap task now takes 3 attempts, and the web version can barely state its own name. The poster claims the "new" Sol is just the old 5.6 sold at triple the token consumption price, mocking OpenAI for finding new ways to degrade value. Anecdotal user report, no benchmarks attached.
