The trend on the status page[1] does not inspire confidence. Beginning to wonder if this might be a daily thing. [1] https://status.claude.com/

They went from $9b ARR at the end of 2025 to $30b ARR today. That's more than 3x the size in 3 months. I expect growing pains.

For some context, they added 2x Palantir or .75x Shopify or .68x Adobe annual revenue in March alone.

Mounting evidence that claude max users are put into one big compute fuel pool. Demand increased dramatically with OpenAI's DoD PR snafu (even though Anth was already working with the DoD? But I digress...). The pool hit a ceiling. Anth has no compute left to give. Hence people maxing out after 1 query. "Working on it" means finding a way to distill Claude Code that isn't enough of a quality degradation to be noticed[0], in order to get the compute pool operational again. The distillation will continue until uptime improves.

0 as of this writing, it's noticeable. Lots of "should I continue?" And "you should run this command if you want to see that information." Roadblocks that I hadn't seen in a year+

And they are early adopters of the vibe coding paradigm, having a 100% Claude generated codebase.
