I've seen a continuous degradation to the UX of Claude Code over the last two months. Now with the release of Opus 4.7 it's really evident.

A developer documents a series of UX and capability regressions in Claude Code over the past two months, arguing that Anthropic is quietly degrading the product to manage rapid user growth. Specific changes called out include: removal of the 'clear context on plan accept' option, blocking third-party tools from using Pro/Max subscription tokens, a cache TTL reduction from 1 hour to 5 minutes, and the removal of extended thinking budgets in Opus 4.7. The author frames this as early-stage enshittification and suggests exploring alternative models and open-source harnesses like OpenCode as Anthropic's lead may not last.
