Ask HN: Is Claude down again?

Nope. Me too.

Same issue here. What was the name of that question and answer site again where you had to manually copy and paste code from? ;-)

Official status is still green: https://status.claude.com/

But downdetector is clear: https://downdetector.com/status/claude-ai/

/edit: there's an official incident now: https://status.claude.com/incidents/jm3b4jjy2jrt

Authentication down for me

I was wondering the same. They just updated the status page but it was showing green for a while and I couldn't login.

It's really amazing how stability of platforms has gone down in the last year or so.

Experienced same... they logged me out on claude code a few minutes ago. And when I login, it makes me wait >15000ms for the auth (which exceeds their cutoff time), so auth fails!

Does anyone recall how to code manually? I certainly don't :-)

It's down for me

Auth is failing, session kicked out.

It's down. I hate this

seems to be.

Weird, it' all looks good to me. Using both Chat and Code variants without issues.

Same issue. Getting an "internal server error" message

Yup, I get:

    OAuth token has expired. Please obtain a new token or refresh your
     existing token.

And their /login page doesn't work.

Can people drop a good LocalLlama setup that I can run on M4?

I use Big-AGI [1] as selfhosted open source LLM workspace, and it's quite telling that when adding API keys for Anthropic, it presents a note inbetween reading "Experiencing Issues? Check Anthropic status" that it doesn't for any other model provider.

Slightly ot but I've been using OpenAI's GPT 5.4 on Codex and so far finding it more convincing than Claude with Opus 4.6 at maximum thinking for my use cases.

I'm more interested in helping with design and architecture rather than having it author tons of code.

Keep in mind that OpenAI has a way more generous tier for 20$ than Anthropic's one, and I think you can even use codex for free with the latest models, so give it a shot, you may find it better than you expected and a solid backup to Claude.

I can't login to my subscription

Are they going to extend my subscription time as a result? It ends today, but I was locked out an hour or so ago, and I'm not sure if that was actually due to this outage.

All the vibe coding is clearly not working out too well.

I don't know about down but I use the VS Code extension on a Pro plan (that I'm considering upgrading from) and it's been slower than molasses flowing uphill in winter for me this afternoon. I'm (a) feeling unwell, and (b) up against a deadline, so this is starting to damage my calm.

I found it absurdly slow yesterday.
