What's Wrong?

I'm experiencing persistent 502 Bad Gateway errors when using Claude Code on the command line with Opus 4.8. The error started approximately 1 hour ago and continues despite the status page showing the incident as resolved. The error message is: "API Error: 502 Bad Gateway"

What Should Happen?

Having the same issue, tried to reauth, tried uninstalling and doing a dry-run. Nothing seems to correct it. On web interface it works correctly with any model, but with Claude Code nothing works
