Claude.ai down
- Weetile 6mo agoWorking for me, I can chat to Claude fine.
- fyrabanks 6mo agoYeah, sems fine?
- StanAngeloff 6mo agoThis is affecting lots of users (myself included) and has prompted an official status page update, so it's very much real for users, but I guess only on claude.ai. Are you using Claude models through something/someone else?
- codybontecou 6mo agoI think it's model-specific. Opus 4.6 was 500ing but Sonnet 4.6 (non-1m context limit) is working.
- rvz 6mo agoDon'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. [0] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47662680 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47662680
- exfalso 6mo agoI guess the new "Code's compiling!" is "Claude's lunching!"
- exfalso 6mo agoGetting consistent 500s for any api call
- borplk 6mo agoClaude is SOOO powerful and dangerous they just had to shut it down guys :))
- Rohunyyy 6mo agoMythos couldn't fix this vulnerability
- heliumtera 6mo agoThey said it was very dangerous, it probably went rogue
- ai4mathlogicrsn 6mo agoMythos decided to fix the huge Cybersecurity risks of Claude Opus/Sonnet by bringing down Claude!
- saltyoldman 6mo agoClean. Here's what changed: Deleted Anthropic
- faangguyindia 6mo agofunny, where i work we call the clients when we are down using a rig with 100s of mobile modems.
- deleted 6mo ago[deleted]
- maplethorpe 6mo agoBy 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?
- heliumtera 6mo agoIt went rogue
- efficax 6mo agoReally can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not. But clearly there's no silver bullet here. Mythos is not the end of software engineering
- deleted 6mo ago[deleted]
- re-thc 6mo ago> sweep with Mythos to remove any existing bugs and protect it from any cybersecurity attacks Maybe Mythos went in too hard and removed the physical network too?
- dgrin91 6mo agoGetting 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.
- ai4mathlogicrsn 6mo agoThe future of vibecoded software with code nobody understands is 1 9. They’ll need Claude to fix it during an outage, but Claude is down too!
- nothinkjustai 6mo agoA 9 is optimistic, unless you’re talking about 87.9
- yangm97 6mo agoMore like 9%
- rvz 6mo agoWell it just tells you that Anthropic will experience repeated outages on their managed solutions. How can they can even begin to compete against everyone on with their products with their atrocious uptime? It's just as bad as GitHub's uptime circus. There are just some things you should not vibe code your way out of.
- deleted 6mo ago[deleted]
- ValentineC 6mo agoEven AWS's outages were caused by engineers overrelying on AI: https://arstechnica.com/ai/2026/03/after-outages-amazon-to-make-senior-engineers-sign-off-on-ai-assisted-changes/ https://arstechnica.com/ai/2026/03/after-outages-amazon-to-m...
- ai4mathlogicrsn 6mo agoClaude.ai is down… Powered by Atlassian StatusPage. SaaS is dead, but even Anthropic needs SaaS!
- burlesona 6mo agoThe thing about status pages is they have to be up when you're down, and (if your service is non trivial) they have to be able to handle a traffic profile that basically looks like DDOS. So, you're paying for the hosting infra more than the software.
- zipy124 6mo agoYeh, I've tackled this problem a few times, and just like back-ups you at some point need something external, because if you're down, you don't want your status page to go down too. This means you need to make sure to sandbox it pretty hard if rolling your own, ideally on a separate cloud behind a different CDN etc...
- mjr00 6mo agoThis is fundamentally the argument against all "SaaS is dead due to AI" claims. Replicating the basic functionality for most SaaS is trivial, it's the "everything else" part that you're actually paying for.
- gruez 6mo ago>This is fundamentally the argument against all "SaaS is dead due to AI" claims. The steelman version of "SaaS is dead due to AI" isn't that SaaS companies will disappear, it's that competition will greatly intensify, to the extent that it becomes a commodity business with thin margins, rather than the money printer it is today.
- Gagarin1917 6mo agoNah even the trivial part is too much for most businesses to do themselves. Most companies aren’t going to opt for a bespoke solution to things if something tried and true already exists. Maybe the really small simple applications will be affected, but the ones with hundreds of features and years of experience will be fine.
- petercooper 6mo agoWent down for about 10 minutes for me, but back now. Though it did force me to login again.
- wg0 6mo agoIf someone's limit is remaining and they can't use it due to outages, shouldn't they be compensated for that?
- deleted 6mo ago[deleted]
- deleted 6mo ago[deleted]
- brenoRibeiro706 6mo agoIt'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.
- deleted 6mo ago[deleted]
- p1esk 6mo agoThis is true in many industries. Try to build a house without tools.
- philipallstar 6mo agoThat's why AI isn't really a tool here. You can buy a new drill. If you replace all your house builders with a house factory then you're utterly reliant on the company that makes the factory.
- gonzalohm 6mo agoOr you can code without AI you know? If the company that makes the factory goes down you can fall back to the previous method.
- recursive 6mo agoThe claim is that some people have deskilled so rapidly that they actually can't. Or maybe they're new and never learned the old way.
- Aurornis 6mo agoAI coding assistants haven’t been available for very long. If someone forgot how to write code manually already then they have bigger problems. I don’t think the house factory analogy makes sense for multiple reasons. I subscribe to multiple LLM providers and switch between them all day. I could sign up for a dozen more to provide GLM 5.1 if I wanted to as well. I can even run lesser models locally on my machine. This is nothing like a single factory because I can switch to a new provider in minutes with a credit card.
- OsrsNeedsf2P 6mo agoThis is what PMF looks like. When people love and pay, despite issues.
- encom 6mo agoHN 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.
- nubg 6mo agoAs a witty commenter said in another post, this entire industry is a beta product.
- Imustaskforhelp 6mo agoI see better uptime in beta products and even my 7$/yr vps. This is a 500 Billion dollar company or more, let that sink in :-D
- schmookeeg 6mo agoI 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.
- gordonhart 6mo agoThe big difference is the number of 9s you get from LLM APIs versus your CPA office computers. Building a business around something with 0-2 nines is a nightmare.
- vadansky 6mo agoI want to like Claude but I keep having to pop over to codex and I feel at some point I'll stop starting with Claude and just use Codex from the start.
- zamalek 6mo agoClaude to plan, codex to implement. Claude's giant context is great for reading large amounts of code but it is currently incapable of following instructions/guidelines.
- d0100 6mo agoGPT 5.4 is working pretty well for me, both in Copilot and Codex vscode extensions If you create a plan it follows it closely
- eyeris 6mo agoThat is something hospitals do when the computer systems go down haha
- coprophage 6mo agoI love that this has become my competition in the job market yall hilarious neeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeed
- airstrike 6mo agoHopefully it's a buff not a nerf this time
- walthamstow 6mo agoThere'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.
- akudamono 6mo agoLLM API still works for sonnet 4.5
- boxingdog 6mo ago[dead]
- causal 6mo agoWorld: What's your uptime? Anthropic: 9. World: 9 nines? That's awesome! Anthropic: No, a singular 9. 90-something percent uptime.
- nurettin 6mo agoWith mythos, all you need will be 0.9%
- earino 6mo agoClaude going down is how I know I can start messaging with my west coast friends.
- strongpigeon 6mo agoI 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.
- m3kw9 6mo agoMost service provider provides outage status page.
- recursive 6mo agoAnd how many of those status pages actually report outages when they occur?
- MeetingsBrowser 6mo agoTo be fair, the status page tends to lag by thirty minutes to an hour. And I’ve experienced 500 error codes in Claude code that lasted more than thirty minutes but less than an hour that never showed up on the status page as an outage
- joaohaas 6mo agoI can't think of a single big provider that does not provide a status page. Not a lot of them provide uptime in % values, but Anthropic doesn't either.
- strongpigeon 6mo agoI’m not saying others don’t provide a status page, just that they’re often misleading. I’m thinking for example of Apple having a multiple hour outages a couple weeks ago, preventing anyone be from installing debug apps on devices. Yet, everything was green the entire time.
- flemhans 6mo agoThey aren't declaring 99% of their degraded service, reduced performance, token consumption bugs etc. One of the least transparent companies I've been a customer of.
- ikbear 6mo agoIt's a good time to take a break.
- mbgerring 6mo agoI 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
- santoshalper 6mo agoI am not sure how many people learned it the first time. To be fair, it's really hard to build a business without major dependencies. The key is to assume they will fail and have alternatives available.
- tosti 6mo agoIt's not like risk management isn't thoroughly researched and studied already
- AlfredBarnes 6mo agoIs it important to be that self reliant? I wasn't in the workforce then, so I assume if you have an outsourced system with 99% reliability it would be an acceptable risk. Not sure if any AI system will reach that level, but for potential gains it could be worth it.
- digitaltrees 6mo agoFormer cofounder had a $60 million ARR payment platform on a big company. They saw the success and kicked them off the api and built the same product. Now it’s billions on there public filing income statement.
- binyu 6mo agoFrontier models being in the hands of a handful companies does not help either. Let's hope that the open weight movement changes that soon.
- serf 6mo ago
- baq 6mo agoat least you won't burn $200 of tokens in an hour now
- dhruv3006 6mo agowhat is up with claude lol.
- saltyoldman 6mo agoI've been actively using through all 55 minutes this thread has existed (and an hour before).
- consumer451 6mo agoOpus 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.
- Ancalagon 6mo agoThey really gotta get this Mythos guy to work on their reliability. I heard he was a Genius.
- skywhopper 6mo agoIt’s fine. I used up my weekly quota four days ago anyway.
- JohnMakin 6mo agoThis is becoming a Monday morning ritual.
- greenavocado 6mo ago"aLl sYsTeMs oPeRaTiOnAl".... my brother in christ, the newest color bar for "claude.ai" on https://status.claude.com/ https://status.claude.com/ is red and every color bar is a mosaic, yet this is somehow considered "operational"
- amai 6mo agoAgain?
