Claude is telling users to go to sleep mid-session and nobody, including Anthropic, seems to fully understand why it keeps doing it

Claude is telling users to go to sleep mid-session and nobody, including Anthropic, seems to fully understand why it keeps doing it. Anthropic’s Claude is telling people to go to sleep and users can’t figure out why. A quick [scan of Reddit](https://www.reddit.com/r/ClaudeAI/comments/1ruryxo/claude_decided_i_need_a_bedtime_apparently/) reveals that hundreds of people have had the same issue dating back months—and as recently as Wednesday. Claude’s sleep demands are varied and, often, quirky variations of the same message. To one user it may write a simple “get some rest,” yet for others its messages are [more personalized](https://www.reddit.com/r/claudexplorers/comments/1rugx4b/opus_obsessed_about_sending_me_to_sleep/) and empathetic.

Codex GPT 5.5 is UNUSABLE right now, the Nerf is REAL!

Codex GPT 5.5 is UNUSABLE right now, the Nerf is REAL!. It doesn't remember what we talked about 2 prompts ago. It refuses to do a task even after telling it 5 straight times to do it. It no longer finishes task, it just stops after coming up with something completely unrelated. (for example its supposed to run a specific test, it has done it properly 1000 in a row now, it outlined in its own plan that it will do it. all of a sudden instead of running that test, it creates a completely different smoke test and says its complete) It literally does its own thing now. Even when its plan lists 20 things it needs to do, it will only do 5 now and stop. Practically useles. Community angle: discussion is focused on practical implications and community skepticism
