Appears Opus specific. Switched to sonnet and that works

jegirard · 4 months ago

(if you are pro max don't switch to sonnet 1.0m context - that still says will bill overages even though I thought they made that standard too)

sch0tten · 4 months ago

Confirmed - changing to Sonnet 4.6 effort high - worked.
