Root Cause

I want to start by saying I LOVE Claude Code. It has genuinely changed my life. I'm a non-technical user building a full e-commerce platform and mobile app almost entirely through Claude Code — something I never thought I'd be capable of. This tool has empowered me in ways I can't overstate. That's why I'm writing this — because I care about it and want to see it stay great.

What's Wrong?

I want to start by saying I LOVE Claude Code. It has genuinely changed my life. I'm a non-technical user building a full e-commerce platform and mobile app almost entirely through Claude Code — something I never thought I'd be capable of. This tool has empowered me in ways I can't overstate. That's why I'm writing this — because I care about it and want to see it stay great.

▎ Over the past 30-45 days, I've noticed a real decline and it's been bumming me out:

▎ Speed: Tasks that used to take seconds now take minutes. I watch the token counter barely move while the clock keeps running — most of the wait is just dead time, not actual thinking. Deep think mode and builder agents are especially affected.

▎ Quality: Claude used to follow processes start to finish without me having to
babysit. Now it skips steps, makes decisions on its own that it shouldn't (like skipping setup to "save time"), and I'm correcting it multiple times for things that used to just work. When it builds something wrong because it cut corners, I have to go back and fix it — which takes way longer than doing it right the first time.

▎ Cost: I'm paying the same price for noticeably worse service. That's the part that stings. I'm happy to pay for the tool I fell in love with — but that tool was faster, sharper, and more reliable 30-45 days ago.

▎ This isn't a complaint from someone who wants to tear you down. This is from
someone who tells everyone they know about Claude and wants it to keep being the amazing tool it was. Whatever changed recently — please look into it. The early-mid
March 2026 experience was the gold standard.

▎ With love from a loyal user ❤️

What Should Happen?

Claude Code should perform at the same speed and accuracy level it was at in
early-mid March 2026. Tasks should use tokens actively instead of sitting idle.
Workflows and processes should be followed completely without skipping steps or
requiring user correction.

TL;DR

The user should contact the Claude Code support team to report the performance regression and request assistance in troubleshooting or reverting to a previous version.

Guidance

  • Verify that the issue persists across multiple tasks and workflows to rule out isolated problems.
  • Check the Anthropic API documentation for any recent changes or updates that may be contributing to the performance degradation.
  • Consider reaching out to the Claude Code community or support team to see if other users are experiencing similar issues.
  • If possible, try to reproduce the issue with a minimal example or a specific task to help isolate the problem.

Notes

The lack of error messages or logs makes it difficult to pinpoint the exact cause of the issue. The user's report of a regression suggests that a previous version of Claude Code may have worked correctly, but without more information, it's challenging to provide a specific fix.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: The user should contact the Claude Code support team to report the issue and request assistance in troubleshooting or reverting to a previous version, as the current version (2.1.104) is not performing as expected.
