Some SRE is getting pinged and having lots of fun right now

Claude is on a lunch break just like a human would.

https://status.claude.com/ Opus has been down for hours now. They're about to go under 99% uptime.

It's super slow even when they say they have fixed it.

Claude is now at 98.97% uptime. Software engineering is solved.

Forget downtime, even when I'm able to use it, the limits make it unusable. As an example, on my free account, I literally sent 1 message asking for information from an ongoing chat, no research, just a simple question and it exhausted it's 5 hour limit. I was using sonnet 4.6 btw. This is crazy. Anyone else having the same issue? And if someone from Anthropic is reading this, please communicate. This feels like a bug.

something is totally off today with claude code and its limits. not sure if it’s bug or anthropic sized down the limits…
