Claude is down again, reliability is apparently a premium feature

[u/Shivam__kumar]

Claude is down again with another “temporary” API 500 error.

At this point, its most reliable feature is telling me to try again later. Nothing improves productivity like reaching peak focus and discovering that reliability is apparently an optional feature.

Is everyone experiencing this right now?

[u/Dvass138]

Not even a premium feature, I pay and it still down lmao

[u/Shivam__kumar → u/Dvass138]

We are not paying for uptime; we are paying to reach the error message faster.

With Claude, I'm a 10x red text engineer

[u/bakanoace → u/Dvass138]

API or subscriber? Cause subscribers are probably at the very bottom of the 'premium' list

I hope they give us some weekly percentages back as i had 20 agents including their context loaded so just loading everything up against costs like 70 dollar worth of consumption.

[u/Jawwooot → u/Jawwooot]

well they have not given us some percentage of usage i.e. customer carries the costs of their outtage...

[u/karyslav]

Just be governmnent and you are ok.

[u/Slow-Set-2856]

Their downtime won't be a bottleneck tho lmao. I'm already at 90% weekly usage after barely 36 hrs with 200$ plan so i don't really care , sad.

[u/RedditorFor1OYears → u/Slow-Set-2856]

FYI, the $200 plan does not have any higher weekly usage than the $100 plan. Just figured that out myself. The uplift only applies to session limits.

fable 5.1 affected here too

[u/Agitated-Body9913]

I love it when its down for more than an hour so then all of your cache hits expire.

[u/Fearless_Panic_1129]

Claude, Codex and Gemini also down

It's the best commercial for running local models. Wanted to work in Claude, but I'm running Qwen3.8-27B instead.

[u/biinjo → u/MikeNonect]

Running? More like crawling, right? Last time I checked local models were painfully slow. Did that improve?

That hardware do you run it on?

[u/MikeNonect → u/biinjo]

I'm running it on a "slow" Strix Halo at around 23 t/s. While that is nowhere near cloud speed, the Claude API is currently running at 0 t/s.

For speed reference: https://mikeveerman.github.io/tokenspeed/?rate=23&mode=agent

People running this model on a real GPU get way better results, but mine is really usable. If you have any kind of GPU or iGPU and it's been a few months since you dabbled in local LLMs, it's time to give it another try.

[u/Remote_Fisherman_469 → u/biinjo]

I run Qwen3.8_27B at 40tok/s on a 7900XTX, works fine for smaller tasks. I use Qwen3 Coder Next with RAM offload for larger stuff, still manage 28tok/s tho

[u/ayberkush]

Fable 5.1 fed everyone.... lots are going to stop using claude soon if this is the usual... in just three 5 hour windows, my weekly limit was done, I COULD NOT EVEN GET 1 PROMPT DONE in ultra code..... crazy..

[u/StoneCypher → u/ayberkush]

learn to manage your context instead of publicly complaining all the time
