- rob 3mo agoGetting consistent "API Error: 500 Internal server error" messages in Claude Code right now (10:20 AM EST)
- roselan 3mo agofor me it's API Error: 529 Overloaded. This is a server-side issue, usually temporary — try again in a moment. If it persists, check https://status.claude.com https://status.claude.com.
- boulos 3mo ago529 and not 429?
- NekkoDroid 3mo ago429 is if you have been rate limited. 529 is for server overloaded and can't process more.
- rzk 3mo agoTheir completion endpoint[*] is returning 503 with a `fault filter abort` response [*] https://claude.ai/api/organizations/<ORG_ID>/chat_conversations/<CONV_ID>/completion
- throwaway2027 3mo agoIs it that time again?
- mdrzn 3mo agoThe rainbow has to keep being a rainbow. ClaudeCode still has a 99.27 % uptime ClaudeCowork has 99.52 % uptime ClaudeForGovernment has 99.93 % uptime
- fearmerchant 3mo agoI must be unlucky because I'm in that .73% way more than .73% of the time.
- Schiendelman 3mo agoThat's how outages on very popular systems work - there's no downtime when most engineers are sleeping, since they're not under load.
- KyleTheDev 3mo agoA lot of deployments are also being done by engineers, performing the deploys while awake. Thus increasing the risk of outages while I'm awake. :(
- lordgrenville 3mo agoThere was a post on here the other day explaining this exact phenomenon: https://brooker.co.za/blog/2026/06/19/waiting.html https://brooker.co.za/blog/2026/06/19/waiting.html
- halfmatthalfcat 3mo agoIncredible how we can claim productivity increases when its either Claude or Github shitting the bed every other day. It must even itself out to a net neutral gain in the long term.
- spiderfarmer 3mo agoIf that 0.07% downtime was holding me back I wouldn't publicly admit that.
- halfmatthalfcat 3mo agoGotta keep my 100x developer cred, that 0.07% is everything.
- maccard 3mo agoWhen that downtime happens is way more important than the amount of it. Imagine if your payroll system was down for 8 hours a month, but it just so happened to be the day payroll do their calculations?
- armdave 3mo agoTotally. The uptime metrics are deceiving imo. A more useful measure for a productivity tool like Claude Code is uptime during work hours for a given time zone. I strongly suspect at least for the three US time zones, we would be looking at a single nine of uptime for that measure.
- spiderfarmer 3mo agoImagine your boss complaining about your productivity in the same way you blame your tools.
- maccard 3mo agoImagine you told your boss you slept 8 hours a day like everyone else, so your productivity is the same. Except you sleep during working hours and everyone else is awake!
- spiderfarmer 3mo agoAlways good because people will look for and try alternatives.
- yanis_t 3mo agoAre you implying using their brains?
- TheSilva 3mo agoSo can we hire back those Oracle workers to write some code now?

- bflesch 3mo agoThe ridiculous marketing message about their oh-so-good-we-cant-release-them models is just the cherry on top.
- zyf 3mo agoStrawberry garden
- jakeydus 3mo agoAnother day, another Claude outage.
- iLemming 3mo agoGoddamit, like losing the ability for coding without any Internet wasn't enough, now I have to forget how to code without Claude? ps. if you say you still capable of developing software without the Internet, you're lying. Perhaps, to your own self.
- throwaway2027 3mo agoI'm perfectly capable of programming without internet or AI but I would admit it would take longer and in the modern world we live in it's often not economical to do so. After programming for over 20 years you start to get in that flow automatically at least you used to do so. I don't know if people starting out to program will be able to, but most experienced developers will feel this way I assume.
- hgoel 3mo agoIt depends on the language but agreed. If I didn't have internet or AI access, I'd still be able to pull out manpages or dig into source code. I wouldn't like it and it'd be slower, but I still understand my environment in sufficient depth to work without external info if I absolutely have to. Even with AI, once in a while I ask it to just give me some hints instead of solving something for me, so I'm forced to do the work.
- iLemming 3mo ago> I'm perfectly capable of programming without internet Me too, but let's be honest, I'm not talking about "Hello world!" experiments, I'm talking about developing usable software. I'm pretty sure, you won't be patching a Linux kernel driver on your own machine without googling stuff. I've learned to code years before the Internet, but we've had it for so long, I'm honestly not sure anymore if I'm truly capable of building [real] stuff while offline. And I can't just ignore it, there's a feeling now, that with AI advancements, I may soon no longer be able to code efficiently without any AI.
- SoftTalker 3mo agoUtter nonsense. If you can't figure out how to run your dev stack on your own computer, you're not worthy of calling yourself a software engineer.
- cellover 3mo agoOh no, I have to write that marketing coordination email myself again!
- GL26 3mo agoRestarted my claude session, by killing my terminal, it worked
- jacob_masse 3mo agoMine went down mid-session and it just shows a JSON error lol, waiting for it to come back up to continue..
- yanis_t 3mo agoI suppose it's a good time to encourage people trying out pi[1] with any cheap model from the openrouter rankings page[1]. [1] https://pi.dev/ https://pi.dev/ [2] https://openrouter.ai/rankings https://openrouter.ai/rankings
- aftergibson 3mo agohttps://pi.dev/models https://pi.dev/models is throwing an internal server error for me.
- jwr 3mo ago"curl -fsSL https://pi.dev/install.sh https://pi.dev/install.sh | sh" — seriously? That tells me a lot about the whole project, unfortunately.
- ieie3366 3mo agoHey you. Touch grass. Go outside. If a minor downtime of a developer tool triggers you, it means you likely have heavy anxiety. Don’t worry about it and calm down. Anthropic has massive capability issues due to massive user growth. It happens often when EU and US work hours collide. They have smart people working on it. Don’t waste your energy complaining. Cheers
- hk__2 3mo agoIt’s 36°C outside, I’d rather stay inside.
- root-parent 3mo ago>> It’s 36°C outside Yeah AI Data Centers do that....
- Schiendelman 3mo agoI really wish people wouldn't pretend these actually matter compared to, say, the proliferation of personal internal combustion cars, or shipping using bunker fuel.
- root-parent 3mo agoAnd I really wish HN users would stop considering itself a temporarily embarrassed billionaire and stop being a chill for VCs... [1] - "...Data centers are projected to surge from consuming 4% of U.S. power to 9%–12% by 2030.

- a_c 3mo agoGood break, time to catch up with the code
- freshtake 3mo agoI hear that 100% of code at Anthropic is coded by Claude, so this was caused by Claude. And also, no one but Claude can fix Claude

- philipkiely 3mo agoGood thing we have GLM-5.2
- Trasmatta 3mo agoProtip: in the olden days we used to be able to read and write code ourselves. Worth trying while Claude is down! You might have fun and learn something!

- Imustaskforhelp 3mo agoPerhaps I am taking this idea a bit too seriously but I imagine that it might not work because of VPN's. but VPN's can be detected and perhaps already are by these AI companies and it can lead to the ban/restriction of an account so not many people would prefer to use VPN. Then, theoretically speaking, I suppose that it might be possible to perhaps toggle off these AI companies for enterprises or licenses of dev's Though I imagine that it would mean taking an ID and having a special dev tag so as to not remove the general purpose chat bots that these sites still operate. I do imagine that it might be really interesting to have a single day where AI esp closed source is/are turned off and see how that pans out but looks like till then claude is sprinkling its downtime throughout any part of the day/month randomly with their downtimes.
- nsvd2 3mo agoIf the government wanted people to take holidays off they could just legislate that people can't work on those days. I doubt there is any political will to do this, though.
- gaiagraphia 3mo agoIs it that simple when everybody is trying to promptmax foreign models?
- throwaw12 3mo agoImagine a future where Anthropic holds your company hostage because no one can code properly anymore by hand and demands paying 200% higher price for the usage. What can your company do?
- root-parent 3mo ago>> What can your company do? Hire some Developers?
- exe34 3mo agoWhat exactly is a developer in a scenario where no one can code?
- npodbielski 3mo agoMe?
- exe34 3mo agoNo one can code. You can code. Are you no one?
- npodbielski 3mo agoOnly the Sith deal in absolutes

- tomasphan 3mo agoI request an official statement from Anthropic explaining how they're going to limit outages in the future. Elevated errors almost always means its down for me and I can't be that unlucky statistically speaking. It seems that Anthropic does not have a good grip on the ops side of things.
- stevemk14ebr 3mo agoI'm sure they'll get right on that for ya bud
- tomasphan 3mo agoThanks for your contribution to this problem. Keen to see what you come up with next!
- donaldstuck 3mo agoWhat a coincidence, OpenAI is also down according to Downdetector.
- swader999 3mo agoI had to log in to github and review a PR by hand just now. I felt like a savage again!
- danjl 3mo agoPerhaps they are adding security controls to bring Fable back online? One can hope.
- keeptrying 3mo agoIt would be hilarious if they don't know how to fix it because this was built by "running loops calling Claude" and they haven't the faintest idea of the present underlying architecture. :)
- npodbielski 3mo agoMaybe they have DeepSeek subscription for that occasion?
- eagerpace 3mo agoI have two sessions going. One is fine, one keeps timing out. Both Opus 4.8 in Claude code in terminal. Must have them routed to different to different infra that isn’t equally impacted.
- Judson 3mo agoI always associate downtime like this with a new model rollout. Maybe we are getting Fable back.
- kk3838368397373 3mo agosaw this comment on Reddit, "it's look like when the lights turning off, we return to socialize lol"
- whh 3mo agoI was going to say the modern day equivalent of Github is down, but it's always down.
- bpodgursky 3mo agoSmells like someone's gassing Mythos back up.
- MontyCarloHall 3mo agoI don’t prompt Claude anymore. I have loops running that prompt Claude and figuring out what to do. My job is to write loops. — Boris Cherny, head of Claude Code Reliability is a direct reflection of the quality of the underlying infrastructural code. If even Anthropic, the company with the world's best agentic vibecoders, has horribly unreliable infrastructure, it really says something about the quality of the world's best agentically produced code.
- dsmurrell 3mo agoI wonder how they fix things when Claude is down.
- wsatb 3mo agoBased on this outage: not very well.
- blensor 3mo agoThis is ( or will be in the future ) a surprisingly relevant issue
- AlexB138 3mo agoI would bet that they have inference setup for internal use on a separate system from the customer-facing production environment. The same way telemetry infrastructure needs to be run separate from normal production systems, so you aren't "blind" when you need it most.
- mysterydip 3mo agomaybe they ask a secondary agentic system to fix it. will that be the future of “redundancy”?
- qsxfthnkp2322 3mo agolol probably use their dev or qa Claude environment to fix prod
- rdtsc 3mo ago
- TimCTRL 3mo agoAppstoreconnect too
- impartshadow 3mo ago[flagged]
- madeforhnyo 3mo agoHas anyone noticed how changing the viewport changes the uptime percentage?
- adithyareddy 3mo agoIt's changing the number of days it's looking back from 90 days to 60 days on smaller viewports - the uptime reflects that.
- remus 3mo agoThey dynamically pick the number of days to display based on viewport size. Mobile = 30 days, tablet = 60 days etc.
- robertsconley 3mo agoI have been developing software since the late 80s, mostly CAM software for metal cutting machines, and I have been refereeing tabletop roleplaying games like Dungeons & Dragons since the late 70s. I get the power of LLMs, and I do find them useful. But I find them useful in much the same way I find a really good set of random tables useful, or a good set of rules for procedurally generating something like a star sector for a science fiction campaign. For my day job developing software, and for the RPG campaigns and books I run and publish today, LLMs are, in many cases, random tables on steroids. After using them for two years, even with all their improvements, I am continually reminded by the results I get that, at the heart of it, I am still dealing with what amounts to randomly generated content. Yes, I know it is more accurate to call the process probabilistic rather than random. And yes, somebody can construct a technically deterministic setup with fixed weights, fixed seeds, fixed sampling parameters, and a frozen runtime environment. But that is like saying you can recreate a rainstorm if you get a thousand butterflies to flap their wings in exactly the right way. It may be technically true, but it is not how the technology behaves in normal day-to-day use. For practical purposes, given the same prompt and the same apparent starting conditions, the result can differ each time you use a model. The outputs will often be highly correlated, and often useful, but they are not deterministic software in the ordinary sense. So far, I am failing to see how the inherent probabilistic nature of the technology can be fully overcome. I understand how we got to where we are today from older neural net technology, including the systems used for vision and sound. What we have now can be very useful. But my view is that it is being badly oversold and overhyped. Its probabilistic nature is being vastly underestimated, and that is a major reason for much of the weirdness and many of the failures we keep seeing. In tabletop roleplaying, there have been times when hobbyists relied too much on procedurally generated content and ultimately got burned by it, either through campaigns that were not as fun or products that were subpar. Each time, the lesson was the same: there is no substitute for human judgment. Any workflow or technology incorporating LLMs has to keep humans in the loop, and not merely as rubber stamps. The human has to remain the primary decision maker.
- svachalek 3mo agoI think we need to disqualify humans as well. Their brains have been shown to operate on probabilistic chemical interactions and even quantum effects.
- cromka 3mo agoI signed up for paid plan on Claude just 3 hours ago for the first time and was scratching my head on how that thing gets praised so much if I can't even send a question half of the time....
- aschla 3mo agoThat's just exceptionally unfortunate timing. Anthropic has been getting better at uptime, but they still have the occasional issue.
- cromka 3mo agoYeah it's one of those situations in which you reluctantly check for downtime as a last resort, only to find out you indeed just had a bad luck. Which is good, because I thought it was a beginner's brain type of friction.

- kordlessagain 3mo agoActual 90d uptime: 97.6838% (calculated by Codex from live data) Computed from the page’s own data for 2026-03-26 through 2026-06-23: - Partial outage: 43h 15m 1s - Major outage: 6h 46m 48s - Total affected time: 50h 1m 49s - Major-only uptime: 99.6861% So, only one 9 for 10x vibes.
- fluidcruft 3mo agoI want uptime modulo in my timezone/work hours. I don't give a shit about any 9's earned while I'm sleeping.
- kordlessagain 3mo agoSleeping less nowadays...
- bflesch 3mo agoThanks, never thought about that. Definitely makes sense for situations where you don't have 24/7 requirement for a service. These stupid SLAs in the SaaS contracts should be reframed like this: 99.9% during working hours, not 99.9% overall. Would also give the SaaS vendor leeway to only guarantee 90% availability outside working hours, and then do their maintenance tasks in those windows.
- rik314159 3mo agoAnd we're back. Nothing to see here...
- rik314159 3mo agoOhno we're not. Hokey Cokey time. 529 overloaded. Of course. Maybe a beer. It is hot after all.

- KronisLV 3mo agoSince this keeps happening often enough not to bring up that much new discussion... Today is the Latvian holiday of Jāņi, to mark the passage of the summer solstice: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J%C4%81%C5%86i https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J%C4%81%C5%86i Grab yourselves some beer or beverage of choice and some cheese (we usually have caraway cheese), alongside skewered meat and get some rest! I mean, what else am I going to do while Claude is down, write code manually, like they did in the 90s or something?
- bryanlarsen 3mo agoThey claim to be fully resolved as of half an hour ago, but it's still not working for me.
- elAhmo 3mo agoSpeaking of LLM looping techniques, Claude seems to be having elevated error rate on a /loop as well.

- badlibrarian 3mo agoIt started failing two days ago, when it suddenly couldn't access gmail threads reliably. Then it started popping up warnings that I was over quota when I wasn't. It even let me use Fable briefly, or pretended to. Meanwhile search finally started working, so there's that. This video, wow: https://www.threads.com/@founder__growth/post/DZz_9Ikj3Wx https://www.threads.com/@founder__growth/post/DZz_9Ikj3Wx Out of desperation, I moved to ChatGPT and it's working better than I remember. All these companies are playing games under load, under failure. No wonder we can't agree on what's good for what.
