Claude Code recently downgraded the default thinking level to “medium”, so it’s worth checking your settings.

Thank you. The difference was quite noticeable today.

Thank you thank you you give me hope :)

But how do you see the current thinking level and how do you change it? I’ve been clicking around and searching and adding “effortLevel”:”high” to .claude/settings.json but no idea if this actually has any effect etc.
