Has Claude Code ever done something you didn’t ask for in a live production environment

🔥

I’m chasing down a little bit of a mystery story.

I have very tight guardrails on my Claude code, and I have a very specific methodology to how I deploy changes through GitHub in my app.

I have built a app that uses a streak counter, very similar to what we see here on this platform and on GitHub.

When I updated a personal plan on my app, the streak counter was off by a day and yesterday I was going through my checklist of things that needed to be fixed this weekend and that was one of them, and I started iterating with Claude code about potential fixes and new designs.

When I logged in this morning, it was still one day behind.

When I logged in this afternoon, the streak account had updated itself by itself.

Each users app runs on their local time so midnight is the day that the streaks start over.

This is definitely a head scratcher. I am currently waiting for Claude code to come back with an answer for me.

It in the last 24 hours, I have caught Claude code making excuses and in a few cases outright making stuff up.

This is on the opus 4.8 model. The underlying model that is running my app is silent 4.6. I have screenshot of the response. I got when I query how the streak counter had been updated. Freaked out.

Is this happening to anyone else who has live production apps or who is working with Claude code on other projects?
