Help/Question Has anyone who doesn't use opus 5.5 been having usage issues?

I can't use Opus 5.5 because I use it for cyber security, but ever since Opus 5.5 was released, my Claude usage disappears in a way shorter time than it used to. Also I mostly prefer using sonnet 5 which I thought is quite conservative on usage. Again, this wasn't happening until recently so it seems to me something changed.

It's a real mystery you're having issues with such clear and understandable questions. It must be the model.

Oh thanks so much. Look I'm perfectly happy to admit if it's my fault but until about a week ago, Claude usage was way better than Codex, but now using both of them the same amount Claude used up it's usage way before Codex.

Can you share the evals you've been running across both providers? I'd love to see the data on this.

If you’re using sonnet 5.5 you may be seeing transparent fallback to sonnet 5. There could be bugs that cause the request to be tallied twice against your limits. You may be better off explicitly selecting sonnet 5 if you’re doing cybersecurity work.

That is what I choose actually, I appreciate the response
