What's Wrong?

Claude Code API severely degraded, Claude.ai web normal - diagnostic data attached

What Should Happen?

Environment:

  • Claude Code v2.1.117
  • Windows 10
  • Account: Claude Max
  • Model: Sonnet 4.6, low effort
  • Location: South Korea

Symptom: Extreme latency on all tool calls
- Simple "git status --short" takes 2-3 minutes

  • Thinking time 80-160 seconds for trivial operations
  • Web chat (claude.ai) on same account works normally fast

Verified NOT the cause:

  • Network: curl to api.anthropic.com = 0.5s (10 sequential tests stable)
  • Local tools: git status completes in <1s locally
  • Client version: latest (2.1.117)
  • Session: /clear did not help
  • Effort: /effort low did not help
  • Model: Same issue on Opus 4.6, Opus 4.7, Sonnet 4.6
  • MCP servers: removed all, issue persists

Conclusion: Claude Code API path appears degraded while
claude.ai web path is unaffected. Status page shows Operational.

Impact: Cannot use Claude Code productively today.
