Can’t you turn the 1M off with a /model opus (or /model sonnet)?

At least up until recently the 1M model was separated into /model opus[1M]


1M context window is still a separate, non-default model in Claude Code and not included with subscriptions (billed at API rates only)

Opus[1m] has heen the default model for max subscriptions since 2.1.75.

It depends on your account and seems to be random.

On my personal Max 5x account it’s not default and if I force it, it says I’ll pay API rates past 200k. On my other account that I use for work (not an enterprise account just another regular Max 5x account) the 1M model has been the default since that rollout. I’ve tried updating and reinstalling etc, and I can’t ever get the 1M default model on my personal account.

Based on other comments and discussion online as well as Claude code repo issues, it seems I’m not the only one not getting the 1M model for whatever reason and the issue continues to be unresolved.


what? Opus 1m has been in place for at least a few weeks for plan users.

The idea is that the immutability of the operating system leads to greater stability. The partition should (in theory) be exactly as the distribution expects on every computer it’s installed to, which limits the potential for user changes breaking anything. The benefit to the user is that it’s a lot harder to shoot yourself in the foot by running the wrong script.


The issues have been described as login/logout, but I'm not sure that's all that's happening. In today's outage and the last the API stopped and kicked the session out.

I only mention this in case someone from Anthropic perhaps isn't aware that it seems to be a wider issue than login/logout (although I'm sure they are!)


If only my handwriting weren't utter chicken scratch I'd use this, but in my case - nobody needs to see that. :-/


You can use a picture of anyone's handwriting. There's high res pictures of medieval monks handwriting and so on that probably would be really cool as fonts.


Your comment inspired me--I have an autograph book from the 1800s, my great-great-grandmother's.

The kids back then would sign notes to each other in these books, in lieu of a yearbook.

The handwriting is absolutely stunning. I have to do this now.


I’m interested in this, please share when you’re done!


No need for encryption if no-one can read you ;)

I'm in the same boat haha
