For the past two to three weeks I've noticed Claude just consistently lagging or potentially even being throttled for pretty minor coding or CLI tasks. It'll basically stop showing any progress for at least a couple minutes. Sometimes exiting the query and re-trying gets it to work but other times it keeps happening. I pay for Pro so I don't think it's just API rate limiting.

Would appreciate if that could be fixed but of course new features are more interesting for them to prioritize.

I use Claude Code at work via AWS bedrock, also personally subscribe to the $20/month Claude. Anecdotallt, Sonnet hasn't slowed down at all. ChatGPT 5 through enterprise plan, on the other hand, has noticeably slowed down or sometimes just not return anything.

I've run into similar issues too. Even small scripts or commands sometimes get throttled. It does not feel like a resource limit. It feels more like the system is just overly sensitive.

Same. My usage is via an internal corp gateway (Instacart), Sonnet 4. Used to be lighting fast, now getting regular slow downs or outright failures. Not seeing it with the various GPT models.

More people are working after labor day. Fridays and weekends are better, Wednesdays are the worst.

I see this quite a lot via Copilot using Claude. It'll just get stuck on a token for a while.

Can you still code without it?

I'm not sure how saying it won't even run CLI commands has anything to do with my ability to code with or without it.

I don't know what the question implied but generally speaking it is a known effect that making AI do the things you used to do accumulates cognitive debt which seems intuitively true too. Physical exercise is a good analogy perhaps.

In this case it's relatively simple things like figuring out the correct ffmpeg command to pull frames from a video, which is then documented in the CLAUDE file. Granted, I don't understand the underpinnings of LLMs but I would've understood that things documented in the CLAUDE file help it reduce cognitive complexity and "remember" more easily something relatively simple like that example.

If you keep breaking the site guidelines we will ban you. We've warned you many times, including recently: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44271716.

I don't want to ban you, because you've also posted good things, but we primarily have to moderate based on the bad things people post, and we can't have people attacking others like this.

If you'd please review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and fix this (properly), we'd appreciate it.

People are forgetting they have a brain that can figure things out, don't you think it's worth reminding them that they can figure things out? I weep for the future where people can't do things because ChatGPT is down. My comment was simply trying to remind someone that they have an amazing brain they can use to figure things out. Sorry if that offends you.

Not offending me - I'm just letting you know that you're breaking the rules and if you keep doing that we will ban you.

Telling someone that by following your instructions they can become "more useful than a tin can" and "might actually learn something", and that they haven't given "figuring it out themselves a try", is for sure over the line into personal attack.

Moreover, if we take all those swipes out of your GP comment, there's literally nothing left! That's definitely not what we want on this site, as should surely be clear from https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html.

You are seeing "swipes" where there simply are none. You certainly are reading more into my original comment than there was.

		Of course interpretations can differ about any language, but this was not anywhere near a borderline call, in terms of the standards we apply here. If you prefer a different word than 'swipe' I'm happy to do that, but either way we need you not to post any more comments of that sort.

It's an ffmpeg command, not anything meaningful.
