The response feels very downgraded from past 2-3 days irrespective of models, agent and model is not doing extensive research and not following instructions. Yesterday it was completely off and today morning it was working but again from 12 noon it producing very downgraded response and lazy to no efforts in following instructions. It is just giving assumptive answers which was not happening a week back or even today morning
Steps to Reproduce
Not Sure
Expected Behavior
it should do deep research, check documentations and codebase , verify files, docker logs and provide detailed report
Operating System
Windows 10/11

The respose feels very downgraded from past 2-3 days irrespective of models, agent and model is not doing extensive research and not following instructions,
I came to the forum looking for a post like this because I have also felt like response quality has been noticeably degraded in the past couple days (more hallucinations about what functions already exist when analyzing existing code, more rambling/repetitive responses when brainstorming new features).
When I asked in this request: 491fe32f-446f-4084-87f0-d0a36014a996 how to configure the vim extension to move by visual lines instead of actual lines when the text wrapped, and it responded with unrelated suggestions about the clipboard, I decided to come here to see if others have recently experienced degraded quality:
The solution is to add the vim.useSystemClipboard and most importantly, configure the Vim extension settings to use visual line navigation.
Open the Chat sidebar → menu in the top right → Copy Request ID2: a587e037-8c1c-42ed-a58f-1b8b9e649e6d;
Share 2–3 Request IDs from recent “downgraded” responses: and few i am unable to copy as its showing duplicated chat option when i click
Make sure Privacy Mode is disabled when testing (Settings → Privacy): Yes its diabled
Specific examples:
Share one concrete prompt where the agent ignored instructions: It is like it s not following the instruction complete and research and codebase scan is its doing tis very lazy, same prompt if I rerun after couple of days and when its working fine then I will do through research verifying all the required file in codebase, do required reasoning and then give concrete answer. But is scenario when its not working it gives presumptive answer, doing minimal research and reasoning of the implementation and reading of file in codebase
What did it respond with vs. what did you expect?: Same models same prompt, provides details and through researched and reasoned output and to will aware to what i am talking and what is going on.
Project context:
Does this happen across all projects or only in a specific codebase?: All project I have tried, it experience this. And especially in weekend its is crazy, like Saturday end of till Monday, IST it always appears like models are running minimally and this have been there for months, no work can be done. But past 1 week, model performance have been unusable.
