Opus Thinking Itself to Death.
Anyone else have this problem? It wasn't doing this last week AFAIK, but last couple days it feels like it's reasoning sometimes just goes forever.
I just had it spend 3 minutes and all 8000 of its response tokens on the reasoning stage. Really kinda frustrating, especially when it costs as much as it does.
