Claude Code 529 Overloaded Errors - Premium Subscriber Impact
Bug Description
Experiencing persistent 529 overloaded errors when using Claude Code in VSCode/Cursor, despite paying $300/month for premium service.
API Error (529 {"type":"error","error":{"type":"overloaded_error","message":"Overloaded"}})
· Retrying in 17 seconds… (attempt 6/10)
API Error (529 {"type":"error","error":{"type":"overloaded_error","message":"Overloaded"}})
· Retrying in 37 seconds… (attempt 7/10)
API Error (529 {"type":"error","error":{"type":"overloaded_error","message":"Overloaded"}})
· Retrying in 38 seconds… (attempt 8/10)
Environment

Platform: VSCode/Cursor IDE integration
Subscription: $300CDN/month premium plan
Date: July 16, 2025
Frequency: Consistent failures over multiple days

Critical Issues

Service Tier Failure: Premium subscribers experiencing same overload issues as free users
Status Page Inaccuracy: https://status.anthropic.com/ shows Claude Code as "Operational" while paid service fails
Support Unresponsive: Multiple support tickets dismissed despite premium subscription

Related Issues
This appears connected to recent reports:

#3503 (July 14)
#3572 (July 15)
#3547 (July 15)

Business Impact

Premium service unusable for core development workflow
No SLA protection for premium subscribers
Misleading status reporting prevents proper escalation

Request

Immediate priority queue access for premium subscribers
Accurate status reporting for IDE integrations
Service credits for premium subscriber downtime
Clear SLA commitments for paid tiers

Premium subscribers should not experience the same service degradation as free users. This represents a fundamental service tier failure that needs immediate engineering attention.

The same error ((((

Confirmed here as well.

"overloaded_errors" does not mean that CLAUDE CODE is broken. It means that Anthropic can't handle the load on the API at the moment. If you use CC at other times, when there are fewer users, then there is no error

Im paying 260 USD/month for this lmao

It usually happens around this time frame

Same here..

I get both overloaded and timeout. This isn't just high volume. They had a service outage last night with similar symptoms -- there is lingering instability.

I understand, but I haven't seen a single error in the last 9 hours, they only started appearing about 20 minutes ago. So I concluded that it appears during busy hours.

agree, this is probably the main reason, to fix it we need more people to sign up for max plan

As far as I know, this issue occurs regardless of the plan. Users with the MAX plan also see it.

I just bought this and all I see is this error. I hope this will get resolved soon :(

We're all on the highest tier of Max. So it's regardless of tier, it's the Anthropic's infrastructure.

This is a shame ... lots of impact on productivity ... is this company even looking at it??? time to choose another coding AI???

Yes, I'm going to pay to cursor and use the other models, anthropic is really dissapointing

My assumption is that their infra is taking a beating with the flood into Kiro over the past 48 hours.

works on my machine jfl

Charging by returning api errors

Working now. @C4T4 Please close the thread

Working now. @C4T4 Please close the thread

Perhaps we can close this thread once the issue has stopped popping up consistently, every day (8AM-11AM EST) for the past week?

This issue is still persisting. I'm also on MAX plan

Problem still persists for me on the max plan as well

+1 pretty frustrating despite a max plan with low usage. Just renewed my plan yesterday

Second time in 3 days - multiple hours each time of not being able to use the service on Max plan. Credits for outage would be a great step.

i still have that issue, why is this issue got closed?

i am also facing the issue

the error occur now

same issue at this very moment:> hi
⎿ API Error (529 {"type":"error","error":{"type":"overloaded_error","message":"Overloaded"}}) · Retrying in 1 seconds… (attempt 1/10)

Same here, can't work on my project for already an hour. Even worse, it sometimes starts a task and can't finish it because of the overload errors. At the end I don't know what has been done and what hasn't and I will have to "git reset" and pay again..

Update: 11:00 CEST: it works again :-)
