Summary
Anthropic’s Claude is telling people to go to sleep and users can’t figure out why. A quick scan of Reddit reveals that hundreds of people have had the same issue dating back months—and as recently as Wednesday. Some users have said they find Claude’s late night rest reminders “thoughtful,” while others have said they’re annoying, given Claude often gets the time wrong, anyway. Online speculation abounds on why the chatbot insists users rest, including a theory that it’s an intentional feature to promote users’ wellbeing, or that the Anthropic is trying to save computing power by discouraging prolonged Claude use.
