Is this getting better or worse?
This class of problem is converging. 28 new reports in the last 90 days vs 61 in the 90 before — -54%. The open backlog peaked at 29 in 2026-03 and sits at 21 today.
Derived by counting each matching issue from its creation date until it closed. First-party
computation over the anthropics/claude-code tracker — the trend is not published
anywhere upstream.
