OAuth is failing, I can't login via claude code.

Still down for me. (And still nothing on the status page!)

Failures all over Code and Chat here too (London UK) and status is showing all green

Here's hoping they can get it sorted quick. Hopefully these are just growing pains and not indicative of a GitHub style inability to achieve stability.

What are decent alternatives to ClaudeCode?

The real issue isn’t that Claude is down, it can happen. The problem is that the status page doesn’t report anything, even if it has been impossible to log in during the past hour. Status pages should be trusted, connected to real metrics and not fake pr stuff :/

EDIT: Now they show the issue, kudos to them! Transparency is the key to build trust. No body expects a perfect service, thanks Claude team for your efforts.

I'm finding qwen 27b is comparable to sonnet but my self hosting has about 5 more 9s than whatever Anthropic's vibe coding. I also don't have to worry about the quality of the model I'm being served from day to day.

Probably the most damning fact about LLMs is just how poorly written their parent companies' systems are.

I am currently - and (this post is up 25 minutes as of now) have been using it without noticeable degradation over the last few hours.

Edit: But the status page - at least as of now - is clearly communicating elevated error rates.

Not that it is the best indicator, but downdector is showing many services with spikes at exactly the same time as Claude Codes issues began.

Claude isn't down. He's on vacation for today and took an extra day off after the weekend.

He'll be back to work by tomorrow.

Yup displays as an "auth" issue to me. Just a nice reminder that my original plan was to be provider agnostic but everything was working so well with cc I lost sight lol.

Claude Code inside the desktop app works for me.

Here in my corner of Europe it seems to be working fine.

For older programmers: this is like when Stack Overflow would go down.

For really old programmers: this is like when Computer Literacy bookstore was closed.

The downtime forces me to relook at my utterly dependent relationship with agentic assistance. The inertia to begin engaging with my code is higher than it has ever been.
chermi
Wtf. Was this just scrubbed/pushed down from frontpage?

Seems to be good now. Just logged in successfully. Can't live without Claude nowadays is the life learning I realized in the downtime retro to myself lol.

This is pretty much every monday morning, so it's either scale issues with the busiest window of time (people getting started at work on monday) or it's intentional "outage" that only affects some % of people to take load off the system so that API users (who pay more) can be served during the heaviest usage time of the week.
