I have to say, I do respect Anthropic's honesty for their status page. Most service provider seem allergic to declaring an outage...
It is a weird thing to respect come to think of it... Having an accurate status page should be the baseline, but that's the world we live in.
Claude.ai is down… Powered by Atlassian StatusPage. SaaS is dead, but even Anthropic needs SaaS!
There's a decent chance on any given weekday that Claude will go down when US Pacific comes online while London is still working. It happens all the time. Kind of embarassing for a $300bn company.
I got 2 500s and quickly popped over to codex since I was just doing documentation and planning work and didn't neeeeeeed claude. He's already back for me. :)
To another's point, yeah, it's sad that Claude taking a brief hiatus just halts workflow. I imagine my whole team just started packing for a beach trip. Then again, I suppose if the CPA office computers go down, everyone doesn't dust off giant ledgers and quill pens and start working manually.
Getting only one 9 on a major tech provider that is suppose to be one of the flagship AI companies. That paints a picture hard to ignore.
It's strange to think how dependent people have become on these tools to the point where they can't function until they're back to normal.
They really gotta get this Mythos guy to work on their reliability. I heard he was a Genius.
If someone's limit is remaining and they can't use it due to outages, shouldn't they be compensated for that?
funny, where i work we call the clients when we are down using a rig with 100s of mobile modems.
Opus 4.6 1M was giving me 500s for around five minutes.
I took the time to stand up and do some stretching. Good use of time.
Getting consistent 500s for any api call
Went down for about 10 minutes for me, but back now. Though it did force me to login again.
Claude going down is how I know I can start messaging with my west coast friends.
World: What's your uptime?
Anthropic: 9.
World: 9 nines? That's awesome!
Anthropic: No, a singular 9. 90-something percent uptime.
This is becoming a Monday morning ritual.
This is what PMF looks like. When people love and pay, despite issues.
Hopefully it's a buff not a nerf this time
It's a good time to take a break.
at least you won't burn $200 of tokens in an hour now
It’s fine. I used up my weekly quota four days ago anyway.
I've been actively using through all 55 minutes this thread has existed (and an hour before).
LLM API still works for sonnet 4.5
By now they would have done a sweep with Mythos to remove any existing bugs and protect it from any cybersecurity attacks. So what could realistically bring it down at this point? Internal espionage?
Claude is SOOO powerful and dangerous they just had to shut it down guys :))
Don't worry this is not an outage. Claude is on another lunch break and just like last week [0] after taking a day off on Monday, forgot to tell the whole world first.
He just needs to finish his lunch in 30 mins before going back to work.
"aLl sYsTeMs oPeRaTiOnAl".... my brother in christ, the newest color bar for "claude.ai" on https://status.claude.com/ is red and every color bar is a mosaic, yet this is somehow considered "operational"
HN is about to go down soon then, because a horde of "developers" are taking a collective time out from vibe coding AI slop to catch up on AI news.
what is up with claude lol.
As a witty commenter said in another post, this entire industry is a beta product.
[dead]
I wonder how long it will take the software industry to re-learn the 2010s lesson, that basing your entire business on (and in this case, firing half of your employees and replacing them with) another company’s API is a bad business decision
