second that... been getting timeouts and errors now since yesterday. and today just overload errors..

richardfogaca · 1 year ago

I'm also facing this issue, not sure if it's indeed an overload api problem or a bug

ombozdemir · 1 year ago

same error, how can i fix it, or should we wait?

richardfogaca · 1 year ago

I believe it is a bug because I switched to cursor, selected the sonnet 4 model and I haven't been receiving overload errors back

jonas-eschle · 1 year ago

It is working again for me as it seems, with opus

kimasplund · 1 year ago

one terminal works (most of the time) while other is completely dead! Seems new sessions work, bot trying to resume old one absolutley dont work. just gets errors :(

daniel-akinyemi · 1 year ago

Yeah fresh sessions dont return an error and it seems the error is just on chat sessions with really large context. In the meantime adding relevant context to the .md file and continuing in a new chat should suffice.

normalman743 · 1 year ago

met this problem at macOS, and a fresh session isn't help

Also having this issue. Not sure if / doesn't seem to be related to chat context size / token limits.

I'm currently experiencing the following error when attempting to use:

API Error (529 {"type":"error","error":{"type":"overloaded_error","message":"Overloaded"}})
Retrying in 8 seconds… (attempt 5/10)

It seems like the service is overloaded. Is this a known issue, or is there a workaround available?

mathiasrandruut · 1 year ago

Looks like they are just overloaded, because everybody have it right now.

noxomix · 1 year ago

Same here...

JustinShuttleworth · 1 year ago

same

bengerson · 1 year ago

same

jscaothe · 1 year ago

same same

geongyu09 · 1 year ago

same.. 🥲

GiangThanhDat · 1 year ago

Would upgrading to the max plan make things better? Should I go crazy at this point?

bengerson · 1 year ago

I am on the max plan and still have the error

pfeldman · 1 year ago

Yes Max Plan has the same error

noxomix · 1 year ago

Nope Max 5x no difference, same error

serdarsalim · 1 year ago

Interesting, I switched from Max to Pro and I'm seeing this error now all over the place in VS Code

timmeade · 1 year ago

Max Plan solid for last 10 minutes. Their status page says nothing wrong.

我刚这样 我买了两个号都这样 我

aselims · 1 year ago

I found the solution. just logout and then login again.
Inside claude: /logout
Then claude from commandline and follow the steps to login again, issue solved.
Happy vibing/coding!
P.S. I imagine Claude team overloaded with msgs. Good to support! :)

timmeade · 1 year ago

i logged out and back in and now it says I am on evaluation not max plan.

MicrexIT · 1 year ago

Unable to use Claude code for several hours now

christianpeirson · 1 year ago

I am also getting this issue API Error (529 {"type":"error","error":{"type":"overloaded_error","message":"Overloaded"}}) · Retrying in 1 seconds… (attempt 1/10) on the claude max plan

This didnt fix it

daniel-akinyemi · 1 year ago

Seems devs are unto something today...

Maxymize · 1 year ago

Same Issue here now. It seems that the servers, API or something on their side is extremely overloaded and therefore many Claude Code users experience this problem at the same time.

ivanhueso · 1 year ago

same issue... tried to logout login didn't work this time.

mustafabasar7 · 1 year ago

Just now I am having the same issue

lien-Gu · 1 year ago

I believe Claude should compensate me with tokens for the losses I incurred because of this. Today, I couldn’t work at all due to the 529 error.

wjtlopez · 1 year ago

Claude code has been unusable for me on 15 july and 16 july so far. I cannot work with intermittent failures.
Today, 16 of July, I am seeing 500's as well as 529's

mustafabasar7 · 1 year ago

Now I am having the following error: ``
API Error: 400 {"type":"error","error":{"type":"invalid_request_error","message":"messages.17:
tool_use ids were found without tool_result blocks immediately after:
toolu_01J7oT5Xu4XRT8x4fRk6diJR. Each
