Ask HN: Has Claude Code become slower?

1 points by yumraj 10mo ago ↗ HN

I've noticed that Claude Code has become noticeably slower and sometimes gets stuck for sometime. It used to be much more responsive earlier.

Is it just me or my environment/prompts/code or have others noticed it too? Compacting has no impact as far as I can tell.

If others have noticed it, could it be Anthropic throttling or just being stressed due to scaling issues?

I haven’t noticed any performance regressions, but we are using a Bedrock hosted instance.

I have noticed the same as well. The same tasks (reviewing docs, creating specs etc) seem to take considerably longer than just a day or two ago...

Agreed. Our organization is finding Claude Code to be far slower in the last few days than it was a month ago. Many of the devs have shifted to Gemini, some are exploring Codex.
