Too much people using claude now, its happening to everyone

Slaytex · 12 months ago

JasonNotJson... (funny)... yeah... I assumed this was the issue...so - yeah.... all good! It's an amazing tool... this was bound to start happening more and more often. Just a bummer that us subscription folks are being affected. But... it's understandable. I'll simply be moving back to my Cursor subscription (using Gemini - which isn't as good).

Probably a different set of dedicated servers for Claude Code.

Slaytex · 12 months ago

All this is telling me is that I need to go to sleep and forget pushing "that onnnne last commit tonight!" lol - goodnight all!

jeremy10tie · 12 months ago

I also have the same thing...

Versirity · 12 months ago

I have the same problem. I just subscribed yesterday. Does this issue happen often for everyone?

NO... this is new. I'm sure they are working on getting a new facility up and running for this very reason.

randomhotdogg · 12 months ago

having the same problem lol 😭

Slaytex · 12 months ago

When there's something this awesome that everyone wants to use... well... yeah...ok..... switching off for the night.... good luck everyone! I'm sure there's a great team right this second that is frantically working on fixing this. 100%.

This is bad news. I am in the final stage of my work, which makes it difficult for me to carry out my work.

m2nhawk · 12 months ago

Same issue with JetBrains AI Assistant Ultimate!
Please fix ASAP!

The same issue here! Claude Code is giving me
API Error (529 {"type":"error","error":{"type":"overloaded_error","message":"Overloaded"}}) · Retrying in 1 seconds…

I learned new word today: Booping

I think that keep posting would bring nowhere.

Booping...

speedgeil · 12 months ago

just opened a refund request using the support AI for getting in touch with a human agent. They promised to email me. If not i will open a case with payment provider. You all should do the same if you want to make them notice how unhappy you are. They don't answer or even read what you are writing here anyways.

jeremy10tie · 12 months ago

Before the error problem it was once a month and now it's practically every day and we talk about a technological revolution haha

maulanasdqn · 12 months ago

why now the error is like everyday?

seanGSISG · 12 months ago

I am getting this nearly every day with no rhyme or reason. Seriously considering ending my $200/month subscription if this continues.

Slaytex · 12 months ago

It's true... if we're paying for it...not good. They should have made better server arrangements.

Slaytex · 12 months ago

So it's happening again now... I think the best course of action is to cancel our account... if we are paying $100 or $200 a month and getting this all the time... cancelling is the only recourse. Bummer...but no other choice.
