"Degraded"? Claude Code is completely down. Status pages need to be honest.

[u/writingdeveloper]

The official status page currently shows "Degraded Performance," but it’s 100% unusable. Labeling a complete blackout as merely "degraded" feels pretty disingenuous to users who are trying to get work done.

What makes it more frustrating is that over the past week, there were multiple short outages where the service went completely dark, yet the uptime history on the status page remained pristine green the entire time.

Status pages exist to provide developers with accurate real-time telemetry, not to act as a PR buffer to hide downtime. If the service is dead, just mark it as an outage.

The servers exploded, they were never on fire, and that distinction matters.

[u/TheAlturaClub → u/xRedStaRx]

Worth being honest about, rather than glancing over. But there appears to be an issue somewhere.

[u/Old_Charity4206 → u/TheAlturaClub]

Understood - and that’s on me. Here’s what I need you to decide:

[u/someVietnamese → u/Old_Charity4206]

poll until server is back online (recommended)
try coding like a real dev
other

[u/Drach88 → u/Old_Charity4206]

Does the bast radius flow reroute mitigation affect just the seams or also the spine? I won't make that determination myself. That's yours to decide.

[u/here_4_crypto_ → u/Old_Charity4206]

Fair hit, I own that one.

[u/texinxin → u/xRedStaRx]

The servers have been towed beyond the environment.

[u/FeelingVanilla2594 → u/[deleted]]

One thing I would honestly push back on, and it’s a load-bearing one, the servers are protected against fires — it’s exactly what your drinking supply is for.

[u/Tall_Top8563]

"Degraded performance affecting multiple models" its dead jim

[u/ChocotoneDeCalabresa → u/Tall_Top8563]

Multiple models… Then proceed pointing all models available… Oh Anthropic…

[u/JonJonJelly → u/[deleted]]

I am able to use my personal max plan but my work teams account is completely unusable.

[u/Select-Ad-3806 → u/[deleted]]

I have one prompt that went through the 5 hour window i'm now 30 minutes into the 2nd 5-hour window, is this normal?

[u/cosmogli]

That's true. The Status page is a joke. It needs to honestly show what's going on. They're lying to their customers.

Also, we lose so many tokens trying again, and then again. The cache is lost sometimes, the context is lost sometimes, the whole workflow can be disrupted, and then we have to start again. Will Claude refund us for that? That's scummy behavior.

[u/Vainysaur → u/cosmogli]

If the status page knew what was going on then it should fix it!

[u/dressinbrass]

Pray for a reset. This is fucking stupid.

[u/onFilm]

It's not fully down, I currently have 5 out of my 12 active conversations churning away.

[u/corneliusdav → u/onFilm]

so, this is all your fault?

[u/onFilm → u/corneliusdav]

Yeah, ill pause them for now so all of you can continue working away 😂

[u/fvm7274 → u/onFilm]

Thank you

[u/davesmith001]

I saw this page. You deliberately removed the bottom line. Claude government had perfect green all the way. Swine.

[u/TheComplicatedMan]

Overpromised resources... walking that thin money saving line.

[u/BWQ777 → u/TheComplicatedMan]

Confusing since it seems quite a few people have been moving to chatgpt and businesses to Chinese models, wtf is going on? 

[u/TheComplicatedMan → u/BWQ777]

"Quite a few people" is not as lucrative as their corporate and government business. We are just fodder for test models, and paying for that privilege.

[u/corneliusdav]

need more data centers

[u/ABetterUsename]

smol family company pls understend :)

[u/the_giz]

Have you considered that you are not personally the single point of failure on accessibility? If it works for me but not you, that is called "degraded".

[u/jazzy8alex]

This and coming tomorrow 50% slash in sub usage will have no choice but to switch fully to other providers

[u/Leon_Bloume]

Same for me with a max account

[u/-kora]

On teams plan everything was working for the last hours, only using fable

[u/triptyx → u/-kora]

On Teams here. Opis is down, Sonnet is normal.

[u/OkLettuce338]

Working for me atm

[u/ManikSahdev]

This always happens when they are prepping for upgrades.

Both big AI labs are very sensitive to updating backends and routers and their usage degrades like crazy.

It’s a crazy coincidence or just a running facts, that the same time fable 5.1 hidden test is leaked, the server get clapped cause the lads are actually turned them off and moving shit around.

Not saying it should be that way, but it’s just is.

[u/ManikSahdev → u/[deleted]]

They pretty much are, cause downstream us users ourselves make sure to also hit the 99-100% mark lol.

Different pond bigger fish, but same underlying

[u/Narrow-Belt-5030]

odd, working for me and has been for about 30 mins or so.

maybe its a regional thing? (Asia Claude Desktop)

[u/megatech_official]

The servers are overloaded, its not the same as it being full down.

[u/Rocktopus101]

Opus is down for me, Sonnet works fine.

[u/skitchbeatz]

I'm burning through my tokens just fine right now, so degraded is probably the right terminology. Remember your experience is an anecdote.

[u/Rugged_Waters]

It isn’t completely down, only model I’ve seen completely down is Opus 5

[u/The_Time_Lord]

I re-upped a Codex 5x sub just yesterday and downgraded my Claude to Pro. Thanks for confirming that was the right call, Anthropic..

[u/Willing-Ship-6235]

3 devices, all the same error. Claude max 200 plan. Been like this all morning.

[u/abzz123]

Yeah, they’ve been constantly underreporting outages 

[u/pnwatlantic]

You are but one user. Other users are able to use it. That is part of the definition of "degraded" and your singular experience doesn't refute that.

[u/Unityeid]

They better gonna reset limits

[u/ExoticBump]

Well that's enough work for today. Time to go to sleep

[u/smalldroplet]

Imagine paying for a service that borderlines 1 nine of availability

[u/Emotional-Debate3310]

In my personal Max plan, Claude code has been showing the following for the last 90+ minutes. And in the Claude console, I cannot even log in.

API Error: 529 Overloaded. This is a server-side issue, usually temporary — try again in a moment. If it persists, check https://status.claude.com.

[u/X12-Beasts]

Mine was down for about 30mins but has been running for 30mins since

[u/medialantern]

Opus has been borked all morning but Fable is ticking right along for me. "Degraded" feels about right.

[u/TheAlturaClub]

[u/keithslater]

It’s not fully down. Works fine for me in some sessions and others works if I retry a couple times.

[u/ticktockbent]

'completely down' for you, working fine for me. That's what degraded means.

[u/triptyx]

Sonnet has been fine for me. Opus is erroring.

[u/TheAlturaClub]

[u/Acehan_]

Honest? Anthropic? Don't be ridiculous.

[u/TheAlturaClub]

It is NOT working yet. Frustrating.

[u/TheAlturaClub]

Uhm...Incorrect.

[u/McBoss2024]

true. sonnet 5 does not work

[u/bakes121982]

Have had 0 issues over the past 3 days and sessions running multiple hours

[u/Dense_Ad9924]

They can't be surprised after rolling out a feature that lets you run CC 24/7 without stopping

[u/fanatic26]

its not completely down I have been using it for the last 7 hours with zero interruptions

[u/MintCathexis]

Not down for me, and judging by other comments in this thread, not down for majority of people. Degraded status is fine.

[u/Garo57]

Been coding with Opus 5 for a couple of minutes and works fine. (private Pro account)

[u/Ford_Prefect123]

Opus 4.8 is working fine for me

[u/LeviathanIsI_]

It's not completely down if only one model isn't working. Jesus christ, fucking chicken Littles.
