NegativeUsage limits

“I feel like im using way more tokens per prompt than i did when it launched.”

NegativeUsage limits

“The prompt cache has likely expired, so your next message will re-cache about 864k tokens.”

Opus 5.5 (O5.5) has been exceptional for me in Claude Code over the last six days. Architecture-first, DRY/SOLID coding out of the box, exceptional communication style, phenomenal token efficiency. I’ve been working with it basically nonstop, ~12 hours a day, since last Wednesday. But right around the time my monthly limit reset this evening, I noticed an extreme shift in communication style and coding behavior that feels suspiciously like Opus 5 (O5). For the last week, O5.5 would take my requirements and immediately get to work, usually knocking out a feature in minutes and doing an incredible job across implementation, UX, architecture, and token efficiency. Tonight, I’m seeing something very different.

Where O5.5 consistently respected DRY principles and the existing architecture, the modules created tonight are suddenly happy to reinvent every wheel that came before them. The difference in ability is not subtle. The other tell is token usage. O5.5 has been startlingly efficient compared with O5, which was an absolute token-eating monster. I’ve been getting substantially more feature work done with O5.5 at a fraction of the token usage. Tonight, simple tasks and relatively small features are suddenly devouring tokens at a pace that feels much more like O5. I’m especially sensitive to this because I have to request an increase in my spend limit every time I hit it. On O5, I was sending a request almost every day. On O5.5, I hadn’t needed to send a single one all week. Then tonight I jumped from roughly 70% to 90% usage in about an hour.

NegativeSafety & refusals

“I’ve had opus5.5 push back… in one case I explained it’s a game, and yeah, we made a game that does exactly what I wanted to do.”

PositiveRoleplay / creative

“in terms of creativity, creating new things, yeah opus 5.5 is fantastic”

NegativeReasoning

“made a very simple mistake, and another simple mistake, again”

NegativeSpeed & latency

“it is also little slow even compared to Astra”

NegativeReasoning

“outright ignores what the user has stated as facts and doesn't ask when those dont align”

PositiveSafety & refusals

“I have yet to have Opus 5.5 block me from doing any of my usual security testing, validation, and remediation work under the CVP.”

MixedReasoning

“Opus is clearly better in logic and processing steps, but often skips some or does something else entirely”

NegativeRoleplay / creative

“graphics would be 10x better”

Original post ↗

It started from one prompt I typed into Claude Code: "*using only pixels directly remake a beautiful pokemon red remake … absolute pixel art perfection.

Original post ↗

* No image files at all. The game draws into a 320×180 screen pixel by pixel.

PositiveImage understanding

“Opus 5.5 has significantly better vision, which might mean for game dev you're using it more”
