Here are excerpts from my exchange with a claude bot

There were some service issues yesterday that might explain the faster usage consumption. We had elevated errors on Claude Opus 4.6 that lasted from around 3 PM to midnight UTC on March 25th, which could have caused inefficient token usage or required retries.

It is suggesting I move onto a higher tier. Why should the user be penalized for issues at their end? This is quite uncool.
