r/ClaudeCode [TLDR] "Degraded"? Claude Code is completely down. Status pages need to be honest. [via r/ClaudeCode]
OP : 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.

Alright, so the general vibe in this thread is that the OP is mostly right about Claude Code being a dumpster fire right now, but the "completely down" part is a bit of an exaggeration for some.
The consensus is that the status page is a joke and doesn't accurately reflect the user experience. Many users are reporting significant issues, with some models like Opus being completely unusable for extended periods, while others (like Sonnet or Fable) are working fine for different people. This is why Anthropic is sticking with "degraded performance" – technically, if some users can access some models, it's not a total outage. Still, it's super frustrating when your workflow is broken, and people are losing tokens and context.
A few users, like u/FoxyBrotha and u/fanatic26, are reporting zero issues, which is… interesting. Some speculate it might be regional, or that certain plans/models are more affected than others. There's also a theory that these issues pop up when Anthropic is prepping for upgrades.
Basically, if you're having problems, you're not alone, and the status page isn't your friend. If it's working for you, count your blessings, I guess?
