Claude Seems Down

Seeing the same. Logging out of the desktop app and attempting to log back in just results in a reset of the authentication flow.

Large volume of user generated reports

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?

bruh

Claude is taking the rest of the day off, without alerting everyone. So it seems.

still using anthropic in the big august 2026?

My bad, I asked it to do something for me that really must have blown its mind

Status page reports as down: https://status.claude.com/

Use Claude through AWS Bedrock. Never been down for me.

Time to write code by myself today)

They are busy implementing text watermarks.

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 asked my OpenClaw agent to build me a Dyson sphere.

oh no, now we have to activate our brains without generate tons of CO2! Ahhhhh...It's really unfair!

Commence dribbling into the keyboard!

Maybe get him something nice to cheer him up

To party? Awesome.

As usual with these posts (here and on reddit), the outage is over within 5-10 minutes. Makes you wonder what power these have over the minds of SWE's who rush to scream immediately when their tool stop working.

The past couple of days I have noticed a presentation layer bug, probably due to getting overwhelmed that causes my session to get all dorked up technical term. Claude itself never goes down and is always waiting for my response. Not sure if it matters but I only use the Sonnet model. I've never had any issues logging in. Perhaps they have anycast [1] regional web proxies?
