alt Hacker NewsThis is intentional? I think delivering lower quality than what was advertised and benchmarked is borderline fraud, but YMMV.

Personally, I'd rather get queued up on a long wait time I mean not ridiculously long but I am ok waiting five minutes to get correct it at least more correct responses.
Sure, I'll take a cup of coffee while I wait (:
They don't advertise a certain quality. You take what they have or leave it.
If you aren't defrauding your customers you will be left behind in 2026

welcome to the Silicon Valley, I guess. everything from Google Search to Uber is fraud. Uber is a classic example of this playbook, even.
If there's no way to check, then how can you claim it's fraud? :)
There is no level of quality advertised, as far as I can see.
Per Anthropic’s RCA linked in Ops post for September 2025 issues:
“… To state it plainly: We never reduce model quality due to demand, time of day, or server load. …”
So according to Anthropic they are not tweaking quality setting due to demand.
