Anthropic's Claude model faces user complaints over slow long-running task performance

Users are reporting significant slowdowns with Anthropic's Claude model during long-running tasks, particularly with the Max subscription. While initial progress is rapid, tasks reportedly slow to a crawl after the first 12 hours, with execution times becoming inefficient and unpredictable. This behavior has led some users to cancel their subscriptions, citing a discrepancy between expected performance and actual results, and questioning the value proposition compared to competitors like OpenAI and Google.
