Anecdata: I've been running a long-lived claude code session with Opus 4.6 for the last few days. Yesterday, almost right after the Sonnet 5.5 announcement, codex starting asking for permission to run things a lot more often
The quality of the output/work seems the same, but the speed at which it gets stuff done is a lot slower, because it's asking for permission so much more
I don't have any numbers/stats, just my impression. However, I imagine that if Anthropic could make the models ask for permission more often, it could be an interesting way to throttle access, without degrading quality of the output
ChatGPT tends to modulate the speed at which you can type. If it is a bug they probably should have fixed this months ago, so I'm guessing it is intentional.
Yes across all devices (mobile, PC, etc.). If it's a performance issue then it's one of those "happy accidents" that is a bug in their favor. Either they don't care about quality or they really like money more than quality, but no reason it can't be both.
