Working for me, I can chat to Claude fine.

Don'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

Getting consistent 500s for any api call

Mythos couldn't fix this vulnerability

Claude is SOOO powerful and dangerous they just had to shut it down guys :))

funny, where i work we call the clients when we are down using a rig with 100s of mobile modems.

By 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?

Getting 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.

Claude.ai is down… Powered by Atlassian StatusPage. SaaS is dead, but even Anthropic needs SaaS!

Went down for about 10 minutes for me, but back now. Though it did force me to login again.

If someone's limit is remaining and they can't use it due to outages, shouldn't they be compensated for that?

It'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.

This is what PMF looks like. When people love and pay, despite issues.

HN 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.

As a witty commenter said in another post, this entire industry is a beta product.

I 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.

Hopefully it's a buff not a nerf this time

There'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.

LLM API still works for sonnet 4.5

World: What's your uptime? Anthropic: 9. World: 9 nines? That's awesome! Anthropic: No, a singular 9. 90-something percent uptime.
