I found out about this from my Claude Status menu bar I built last time it went down! It's invisible most of the time, unless the status goes down then a yellow or red marker appears. Improvements welcome: https://github.com/titojankowski/claude-status

Yeap, all Oauth sessions got kicked and can't get back in. Welp, switching to Deepseek V4 Flash 0731 via OpenRouter. Stoked that AI is in a place we have legitimate options available!

I'm sorry, but why is this on the front page with 2 up votes? Do we really need to be alerted every time the Claude API responds with an error?

Looks like their auth is broken. Do they ever publish postmortems?
