Overview
- Anthropic posted a status update saying it is investigating elevated error rates and has classified Claude as a partial outage.
- The company named the affected products as Claude.ai (desktop and mobile), Claude Code and Claude Cowork.
- Users report seeing failed requests, repeated "Request couldn't be processed" errors, forced sign-ins and account-creation loops that block access.
- Third-party monitor Down Detector showed a large spike in user reports, with more than 11,800 problem reports at peak, indicating a widespread disruption.
- Anthropic's communications so far are limited to status-page updates with no estimated time to fix, which could interrupt both casual use and developer workflows that rely on real-time access.
