You’re not wrong, but, I can literally see it get worse throughout the day sometimes, especially recently. Coinciding with Pacific Time Zone business hours.

Quantization could be done, not to deliberately make the model worse, but to increase reliability! Like Apple throttling devices - they were just trying to save your battery! After all there are regular outages, and some pretty major ones a handful of weeks back taking eg Opus offline for an entire afternoon.
