Opus 4.6 overthinks and burns tokens in my experience. I switched back to 4.5 after just the first two tasks.

Why would I want it to "think" more than it apparently needs to with 4.5.

I think the thinking mode is a net negative in a significant number of cases. I've had an issue in a file that claude failed to mention in the regular output but thought about and then dismissed out of hand in thinking.
