Same here. Not again, please... I need to use it for work. So glad I cancelled my private max subscription.
I had issues this morning too in the desktop app, it looks like they were rolling out an update as the UI changed shortly after but wasn't great as I had some important work to deliver.
Still hanging on with my subscription but they really do need to address performance some and compensate accordingly :(
Got this issue after updating to the latest version.
On average it took 6 to 8 failures like above before it can complete 1 request. (and then repeatr)

Also, forced logged on and can't log back in to Claude.ai

It doesn't work in all sessions
@humanwritten
My subscription will run out this weekend. I am trying out opencode and AWS bedrock. I find it to be really promising so far. Subjectively better I would say.
just got a notification the triage bot failed too looks like its totally down
<img width="491" height="388" alt="Image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/3270504a-8149-4e04-a693-1cf3d7700ad0" />
I need to test out bedrock + some other tools to have a fallback / maybe some promising alternatives.

so while we wait for our anthropic to turn it off and back on again what's everyone working on? :) (or was working on)
bedrock is much faster. You pay per token though. But you have the choice to strike a good price to performance balance. I will also try connecting it to LM Studio this weekend. I have MacBook with a decent amount of memory. I will try running it with
30B qwen 3 coder MLXand some similar models. I'll see how that goes.Also running into the same issue:

I don’t understand what I’m subscribing to 20x max for.

Here we go again guys...
Desktop app is dead also

For the experience.
same mr claude is not working
<img width="542" height="172" alt="Image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/c38bb463-e4f6-4675-83e4-c7814ff78e19" /> uhh this doesn't look good
I just downgraded to 5x. I will spend rest of 118 on other stuff. Can buy like 5-6 other
And now 20%+ of the software engineering community is twiddling their thumbs.
@ryoya1122 when you have the answer, tell me too.

At least this time they do not take 4 hrs to notice. Yaaaay, progress.
My prod is on fire and I have no idea to fix it without the help of Claude 🤣
@linux-root restart the server to see if it works :)
You have something in common with the Anthropics engineers, I guess 🤣
try codex from OpenAI... its another terminal based agent
do you mind if I quote this - let me know if you want anon or not :)
We should also reflect on how much we’ve been relying on AI in our lives and work.

LOL. They might need to switch to Cursor 🙃
It's working for me now

Go ahead, quote me properly, though. It's quite fine work. I surprised myself :D
working for me now
we really should all jump on a twitter space or something when claude code goes down and reflect on this 🤣
Relax guys, they already know and working on restoring services Im sure. Try journaling or drawing out your ideas instead until further notice. 9AM fires suck.
I like the idea of this, the Claude waiting room
lol I hate writing a single line now, I would rather spend 5 minutes telling claude what to do
btw it's back up guys
<img width="717" height="348" alt="Image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/f82fd9e7-aceb-41b3-b4ee-fa878d83bd7c" />
it's so pointless to write code when claude can write and debug it 100x faster than I can on my best day.
Did they spin up a dumb version?
I define my requirements and it just ignores most of them. Simple and comprehensive task from a clean slate with examples given, which it ignores.
Good thing they now give themselves 5 years to debug these issues. It seems like they need it.
resolved here...
explicitly tell claude to read the files in FULL, if you're following along you'll see it will often only read a 50-100 lines of a 800 line documentation file.
Who knows... Might have deployed further quantised models for subscription folks
There was an incident this morning. It should be resolved now, let us know if you're seeing anything weird.

Looking good to me now, thanks for sorting :)
