On the TUI I got "⎿  API Error: 500 {"type":"error","error":{"type":"api_error","message":"Internal server error"},"request_id":"req_011CXmPdbCePnPzkS5PpHyon"}"

What Should Happen?

Claude Code working and then all of sudden it started spewing 500 errors on all questions

Error Messages/Logs

⎿  API Error: 500 {"type":"error","error":{"type":"api_error","message":"Internal server error"},"request_id":"req_011CXmPdbCePnPzkS5PpHyon"}"

Steps to Reproduce

I get in my laptop, but I doubt many other people have it or I would have seen it by now in complaints.

Sonnet (default)

Is this a regression?

@sboden seriously mate? I have searched [existing issues](https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues?q=is%3Aissue%20state%3Aopen%20label%3Abug) and this hasn't been reported yet ? there are 30 more same, just check status.anthropic.com before opening any ticket

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.
