Research direction

Start by collecting the missing OS, Visual Studio Code, AWS Toolkit, and Amazon Q versions using the listed AWS: About and Amazon Q: About commands. Reproduce the Claude Sonnet 4 high-load message and determine whether it is an Amazon Q or AWS service issue; the report is not complete until the cause and an actionable fix or escalation path are documented.
