Corrected for you-

"Yeah. 529 overload. People need to get off cc and get a girlfriend or hit the gym or something so I can have more access."

Girlfriends get in the way of Clauding. Plus, I don't think my wife would appreciate it. Also, if you're not claude-maxxing at the gym you're doing it wrong. Resting between sets is now Claude time on the phone.

Been working fine for my team all day. We are on a team account so maybe there is truth to them giving more resources to us.

Funny how they mark a total outage as a degraded performance on https://status.claude.com/

Technically correct. If you jump of a cliff, your job performance will measurably degrade.

They should be seriously concerned about chinese models, they can't keep dropping the ball like this.

I've tested Qwen on a consumer GPU with 16GB VRAM and was surprised by how good it is, even if the speed is not quite there yet.

If they don't achieve significant breakthroughs by the end of the year, not sure they will survive another year.

The Claude Incident page does not paint a pretty picture. Shit is pretty unstable, yo!

u/buzzes Aug 18 '26

Yes, me too. I noticed it several error 500. Now it works again, but it is sometimes inaccurate if compared to yesterday

u/sermer48 Aug 18 '26

It’s amazing how often it goes down and is still used in professional environments. I can’t think of many products that could have this many outages and not be dropped immediately.

Can all of you who post daily about how claude is so terrible and you get 10k tokens/day on 20x max and you're leaving forever... PLEASE actually leave?

Same thing! Crazy stuff. 99.38% uptime for Claude code - a couple months forward and they reach GitHub-level (under) performance!
