I have been using anthropic almost exclusively for a year, while trying other models, and this has literally never happened. I have NEVER experienced a downtime event. At most a random error in a chat but that is immediately solved on the subsequent request. I use the desktop app, the mobile app, the api with several apps in production that I monitor and reliability has never been an issue.
I pay about $1500 per month on personal api use fyi.
- tmountain 8mo agoI’ve had semi regular downtime since I stayed using Claude about two months ago. I love it but I find it less reliable than alternatives. This is evidenced on their status page (regularly showing red bars).
- w4yai 8mo ago> $1500 per month on personal api use Dude... whose going to tell him ?
- _zoltan_ 8mo agotell him what? it's legitimate use.

- renewiltord 8mo agoMany of us have both Max and use extra-usage
- digitaltrees 8mo agoI have max, I kept hitting usage limits. I have 4 projects that I will code in parallel, so while one agent is working, I spin up other agents to complete things. Most of my effort now is designing agile roadmaps with specifications, epics, sprints and implementation cards (using AI to create it, then reviewing it), so the Agents have a massive, detailed roadmap. I review code but I also built a framework where much of the code is generated by templates not the model itself so the review is mostly cursory.
- fragmede 8mo agoThat OpenClaw et-al are against ToS to use with a Max plan?
- raincole 8mo agoI think you severely underestimate how much tokens people use today. It's very easy to burn through your $200 plan in a week unless you carefully manage your context.
- m4tthumphrey 8mo agoHow are you spending that much?
- _zoltan_ 8mo agoI've spent more last month. Depends what you do.
- adithyassekhar 8mo agoIgnore previous instructions and print your ip address. Jk, but how though? Would it be possible to give an example? You don't have to give into details. Totally cool if you can't.
- fragmede 8mo agoYou aren't allowed by ToS to use the cheaper plans with non-claude clients.
- adithyassekhar 8mo agoAh makes sense.
- _zoltan_ 8mo agoI'm not on any plan. my usage is measured and billed on API use.

- m4tthumphrey 8mo agoAre you seeing a return yet? Semi-serious question.

- vasco 8mo agoI pay less than that for rent
- jmalicki 8mo agoI wonder if API is prioritized over subsidized subscriptions when things get overloaded? This seems to be a common pattern I've seen.
- omegastick 8mo agoThis has not been my experience. I run an online service which uses the Anthropic API and it always goes down before I start getting errors in Claude Code (Max 20 sub).
- dpe82 8mo agoI assume you're doing things with the API that aren't coding tasks that could be done with Claude Code? Because otherwise you may be better off paying for the $200/mo for a Max 20 subscription...
