Why a Performance Discussion Megathread?

This Megathread should make it easier for everyone to see what others are experiencing at any time by collecting all experiences. Most importantly, this will allow the subreddit to provide you a comprehensive periodic AI-generated summary report of all performance issues and experiences, maximally informative to everybody. See the previous period's performance report here https://www.reddit.com/r/ClaudeAI/comments/1naloyo/claude_performance_report_with_workarounds_august/

It will also free up space on the main feed to make more visible the interesting insights and constructions of those using Claude productively.

What Can I Post on this Megathread?

Use this thread to voice all your experiences (positive and negative) as well as observations regarding the current performance of Claude. This includes any discussion, questions, experiences and speculations of quota, limits, context window size, downtime, price, subscription issues, general gripes, why you are quitting, Anthropic's motives, and comparative performance with other competitors.

So What are the Rules For Contributing Here?

All the same as for the main feed (especially keep the discussion on the technology)

Give evidence of your performance issues and experiences wherever relevant. Include prompts and responses, platform you used, time it occurred. In other words, be helpful to others.
The AI performance analysis will ignore comments that don't appear credible to it or are too vague.
All other subreddit rules apply.

Do I Have to Post All Performance Issues Here and Not in the Main Feed?

Yes. This helps us track performance issues, workarounds and sentiment and keeps the feed free from event-related post floods.

What causes frequent overload issues with Claude AI in n8n workflows? - N8n - Latenode Official Community

May 13, 2025 - I’ve noticed that Claude, the Anthropic AI chat agent, works great in a lot of my n8n workflows. But I can’t really use it for anything customer-facing because it keeps getting overloaded and throwing errors. It’s super frustrating! I’m not sure what’s going on since I’m using my ...

When Your Claude Code Becomes Terribly Slow Over Time … | by Jiyao Weng | Medium

September 21, 2025 - f you are a heavy user of Claude Code, you might have noticed that it can become incredibly slow over time for projects you work on frequently. A simple prompt, like checking in code to GitHub, could take up to half an hour.

[BUG] Claude is getting slower and slower the longer it works. (keystrokes take forever after 2 hours of work, unusable after 5 hours) · Issue #4511 · anthropics/claude-code

July 26, 2025 - My assumption is that you're using node.js to run claude, so I'm guessing this would be a problem with node, but could also be due to the work-load (many small objects allocated?). I calculated that the whole 15 Tasks which it initially planned would take about 20k Tokens in the main agent and should take around 4-5 hours.

Why Claude Code is Slow & How to Speed It Up | AI Coding

August 10, 2025 - This is probably the biggest reason for the speed difference. When you use a tool like Claude Chat, you're essentially in a "code generation" mode. You give it a prompt, it spits out a block of code, & you take it from there.

A postmortem of three recent issues

We recognize users expect consistent quality from Claude, and we maintain an extremely high bar for ensuring infrastructure changes don't affect model outputs. In these recent incidents, we didn't meet that bar. The following postmortem explains what went wrong, why detection and resolution took longer than we would have wanted, and what we're changing to prevent similar future incidents.
