Composer getting dumb on Slow request?

While I’m still within my request threshold (e.g., Pro, 500 req / month), things work fantastically. Composer takes my files, doc, codebase, notepad, basically, everything I throw in, and it just gets the job done without breaking a sweat.

But recently, I’ve run out of monthly fast requests (rarely, due to this month’s workload), and I noticed it getting really … dumb. It is the same or even a much smaller amount of context input, but it is still unable to do right and sometimes breaks stuff.

Things get done as usual with simple requests or maybe just 1 or 2 short notepads.

Does slow request reduce context, too?

Has anyone felt the same?

I am having the exact same feeling! It feels like a joke.
I just wasted an hour with back and forth with it trying to simple accept the supabase invite link and set a password and got nowhere.

To the point that it starts writing mcp commands which seem to be wrong so its not calling the tool and just sending it to shell instead.

Then had an issue with it loading a table from supabase, went through multiple iterations with the slow requests when it was working then it broke it and then 5 iterations and still didnt fix it.

Added anthropic api key first set of responses i got was a lot more positive, but then constant api key rate limit exceeded.

Very frustrating

I didn’t experience a drop in quality with slow requests

They are just getting slower and slower:

Well here is another data point.

I enabled PAYG and in the following 2 prompts claude 3.7 fixed the problem that the 6 prior prompts got no where with.

It also started running MCP tools correctly after enabling the payg.
