What's Wrong?
Same as what was happening yesterday before the fix, auth via claude /login on my Windows 11 ARM machine always results in OAuth error: Request failed with status code 500 or a timeout.
Very sad to have this happen again today

Same thing. And not only it's unable to authenticate, but also is wasting money in process. Version 2.1.90 is affected too.
day 2 of not being able to use claude.

Same error. Tried restarting IDE. Tried restarting browser. Tried restarting computer. Tried different browser.

It also appears that sometimes website is generating the code (which won't work, claude code will display error 500) or is telling "you can now close this window" a second after the client times out. So either it's a problem with timeout or, more likely, the new vibe-coded authentication backend fails after Anthropic patched it after the source code leaked. Let me guess - it requires the new unreleased client?
P.S. The existing authenticated clients are unaffected, so it is, apparently, the new token generation that fails. I wonder if token renewal is failing too, we are about to find out.
Same issues as yesterday. My existing connections were de-authed and no re-auth method is working.
Apologies for the disruption, folks! We believe this issue has been resolved.
