Claude has always noticeably degraded under heavy load. Opus goes from "decent to work with" to "dumb intern" depending on whether you're working at 3 AM west coast or 10 AM - 5 PM. It's part of why I cancelled my subscription - "max" plans and "extra high" effort are meaningless when there's so much variability between model availability, model performance, and harness bugs every day and every week.
