The reason for the recent slowness
As it turns out, it's math problems again. Welp... Science is important but if your customers are suffering... I don't know.

As it turns out, it's math problems again. Welp... Science is important but if your customers are suffering... I don't know.
I usually have multiple subagents in my workflows. Today, I noticed that one of them had FastMode=On although I turned it off everywhere.
It turns out there is a parameter that the main agent can set: service_mode
In that case, the main agent set service_mode=priority and therefore spawned the subagent with FastMode, or in other words it ignored what FastMode flag the main agent had.
So be warned: I have this line in my global AGENTS.md:
- Always spawn subagents with `fork_context=false`, and do not pass `service_tier=priority` - omit that option!
