Anthropic fixes three missteps that briefly dulled Claude Code
Anthropic disclosed three separate changes that temporarily reduced Claude Code's performance and restored the model by April 20. A March 4 switch lowered the default reasoning effort from high to medium, which was reverted on April 7, and a March 26 cache‑clearing bug erased session context, causing forgetfulness and higher token usage until fixed. The issues were fully resolved by April 20.
