[BUG] Excessive amounts of API error 529 and status.anthropic.com shows everything is working

same here

This seems to be a reoccurring theme with anthropic just closing the tickets claiming it's not a systemic issue.

My company is shelling out thousands a month for the dev team. Claiming there's not a systemic issue right now is a slap in the face to us. Gemini is looking pretty attractive right now.

I’m experiencing the same issue, even though I haven’t hit any usage limits It’s frustrating to get so many 529 errors when the status page shows everything is working fine.

Same issue

Same here on Max subscription. Not amused.

Usage has been cut in half and dumbed down. Inside info is they are using their servers to prioritize training for sonnet 4.5 to launch at the same time as xAI dedicated coding model. xAI coding logic is very close to sonnet 4 and has anthropic scrambling. xAI sucks at making designs but codes really well.

Was working for an hour or so around 7am UK time, now sgetting the API errors again in all instances of Claude Code

Usage has been cut in half and dumbed down.

They should get their priorities straight. If the customer experience sucks, they will have to fight an uphill battle in the future convincing people to use their stuff, no matter how good it is. Claude Code is "good enough" as is. Anything more is "nice to have". But a working platform, that is absolutely crucial to me as a customer.

I will not switch to xAI. They do not have anything like Claude Code. I have tried all the other alternatives. They all pretty much suck in comparison to CC (if it works). So no reason for any kind of scrambling here.

Edit: If this continues, I will probably look for alternatives that might not be as feature rich, but that might offer better stability and do not sacrifice performance that users have paid for.

The errors are back this morning. I'm about to nuke this account and switch back to Cursor.

Same here... Paying for Max.

It's getting really frustrating.

I feel like I can only get it to work right during the night. I need it for work during the day!

I'm paying for the Max x20 subscription, using Sonnet and getting constantly 529 errors, while https://status.anthropic.com/ says "everything fine with Claude Code" - I'm not amused.

API Error: 529 {"type":"error","error":{"type":"overloaded_error","message":"Overloaded"}} , I am getting this for a the last hours too , that too on Claude Max Sub

API Error: 529 {"type":"error","error":{"type":"overloaded_error","message":"Overloaded"}}, getting this, claude code isn't working!!!!
