It's okay, this FAQ helpfully highlights that 503 errors are common: https://claudelog.com/faqs/why-is-claude-code-showing-503-er...

FYI: It's not an official Claude / Anthropic website.

Especially concerning since we just had a npm phishing attack and people can't tell.

Anthropic has by far been the most unreliable provider I've ever seen. Daily incidents, and this one seems to have taken down all their services. Can't even login to the Console.

I wonder why they haven't invested a lot more in the inference stack? Is it really that different from Google, OpenAI and other open weight models?

Funny observation - it feels like being in the EU I get a much better AI SaaS experience than folks over in the US. It’s like every other day, the moment US working hours start, AI (in my case I mostly use Anthropic, others may be better) starts dying or at least getting intermittent errors. In EU working hours there’s rarely any outages.

Funny, my friend told me the same thing happens to Figma.

Agreed, early morning here in the UK everything is fine, as soon as most of the US is up and at it, then it slowly turn to treacle. I've been testing z.ai for the past week and it's nowhere near as suceptible, fwiw.

To back up that observation:

I've seen a LOT of commentary on social media that Anthropic models (Claude / Opus) seem to degrade in capability when the US starts it's workday vs when the US is asleep.
