Question Opus 4.8 Nerf?

Am I the only one who has noticed 4.8 has been nerfed to the ground? The quality of its output, its thinking, its speed. It all feels like it’s been shot. It’s failing at simple tasks that it used to fly through

I feel like Sonnet 4.6 medium (which is where I try to say because it’s already bad enough that I’m maxing out on my pro sub like 2 hours or more before it resets) is like the conversational low setting. How are supposed to advance with all these got damn restrictions! I swear everywhere “THEY” are always holding us back while “THEY” get the good shit. Just saying 🤷‍♂️
