@levelsio hmm that’s a bug will investigate
@levelsio@levelsioI know Anthropic has a GPU shortage but every day forcefully putting my effort back to medium feels...well....annoying

@levelsio Hmm it should default to xhigh for Opus 4.7. Are you on latest version of Claude Code (CLI)?

@levelsio (If you use /effort to set to something else like high or medium, it sticks to it but the default for 4.7 is xhigh.)
