What's Wrong?

Here’s the final post, ready to copy-paste:

Bug Description
Receiving intermittent APIError: 500 internal server errors in Claude Code that interrupt workflow mid-session.

APIError: 500 {"type":"error","error":{"type":"api_error","message":"Internal server error"},"request_id":"req_011CZ9E8tZcYMUDMtwmjAvGx"}

Request ID: req_011CZ9E8tZcYMUDMtwmjAvGx
Steps to Reproduce

  1. Use Claude Code normally
  2. Error appears intermittently — not tied to a specific action
  3. Retrying the same request sometimes succeeds

Expected Behavior
Request completes successfully or returns a meaningful, actionable error code.
Actual Behavior
500 Internal Server Error halts the session with no recovery path other than manual retry.
Environment Info
∙ Platform: linux
∙ Terminal: Ubuntu Terminal
∙ Version: 2.1.77 (Claude Code)
∙ OS: Linux Ubuntu 25.04
Additional Context
This appears to be part of a pattern reported by many users throughout February–March 2026. Related issues: #27559, #27635, #28613, #28623, #28624. The request_id above should allow server-side tracing.

What Should Happen?

Claude should work ?
