lol, the GitHub repo getting absolutely plastered with issues regarding this.
Maybe Claude should offer some easy in-app mechanism to report such downtimes. Just a thought, but what do I know? 🤷♂️
Seems to be working now
Hi folks, thanks for reporting this. These 500 errors were caused by transient API outages on the Anthropic side — not a bug in Claude Code itself. The API is currently healthy, so I'm closing this out. If you're still experiencing 500 errors, you can check the API status at https://status.anthropic.com, and if the issue persists while the status page is green, please open a new issue with your request ID and we'll investigate.
