Overview
- Users worldwide found Claude unresponsive on Tuesday as chat interfaces, the mobile app, the website, developer tools and the API returned capacity errors or failed requests.
- Outage trackers showed reports spiking from near zero to several hundred complaints in minutes with a peak of about 300 reports in the mid-to-late afternoon.
- Anthropic confirmed elevated error rates across multiple models and products, listing issues for Claude Chat, Claude Console, Claude API and Claude Code.
- The company updated its status page to “identified” and said engineers were implementing a fix but gave no firm timeline for full restoration.
- The outage disrupted third-party apps that depend on the Claude API and underscores capacity limits in large AI services after related, shorter incidents were logged the day before.
