What You Asked Claude to Do

Hey, if I am only going to get 4 decent (notice I did not say good) days of work out of the model can you start charging me accordingly? EVERY SINGLE FRIDAY it gets more stupid than ever, starts just doing what it wants and slows down to the point of API errors.

RIDICULOUS

To be clear I FULLY expect this to be just closed and ignored but at least I posted it.

What Claude Actually Did

1. Gets stupid
2. Does things I did not tell it to do.
3. Breaks guardrail rules
4. Becomes extremely slow to response to the point of API errors.

Expected Behavior

1. Remains only slightly dumb since it is never smart
2. Works with me to ask questions when it does not know, shows me what it's going to do before it does it when I ask.
3. Follows the rules I have in place that keep it from messing up my code.
4. Keeps working at a normal pace and does not throw errors every Friday.
