API Request Failures: Persistent 529 Overloaded Errors

Also continue does not help. The same comes up again.
Update:
using compact explicitly doesn't help.

second that... been getting timeouts and errors now since yesterday. and today just overload errors..
I'm also facing this issue, not sure if it's indeed an overload api problem or a bug
same error, how can i fix it, or should we wait?
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
It is working again for me as it seems, with opus
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 :(
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.
met this problem at macOS, and a fresh session isn't help
me too, don't know what should to do right now
mee too...
mee too both models
I'm sad, can't vibe code for the whole morning
So sad, me too
Got the same issue. I ran /init in an existing Angular project.
me too
please fix the bug!
me too
same here. Please fix.

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:
It seems like the service is overloaded. Is this a known issue, or is there a workaround available?
Looks like they are just overloaded, because everybody have it right now.
Same here...
same
same
same same
same.. 🥲
Would upgrading to the max plan make things better? Should I go crazy at this point?
I am on the max plan and still have the error
Yes Max Plan has the same error
Nope Max 5x no difference, same error
Interesting, I switched from Max to Pro and I'm seeing this error now all over the place in VS Code
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 我你
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! :)
i logged out and back in and now it says I am on evaluation not max plan.
Unable to use Claude code for several hours now
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
did not work
Any solution for this yet?

I can confirm this work ! thanks 👍
EDIT: worked for like 30 seconds then got the error again 😅 Claude is trolling hard
getting same error, it works in between but then throws. pretty weird

This didnt fix it
Seems devs are unto something today...
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.
same issue... tried to logout login didn't work this time.
Just now I am having the same issue
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.
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
Now I am having the following error: ``
tool_useAPI Error: 400 {"type":"error","error":{"type":"invalid_request_error","message":"messages.17:
ids were found withouttool_resultblocks immediately after:tool_usetoolu_01J7oT5Xu4XRT8x4fRk6diJR. Each
