They've just gotten some substantial amount of traffic of defectors from ChatGPT, so their system may be creaking under the load. They have previously said they don't degrade their models under excessive load, but the models sure behave like they do.

Hmm - that might be ?? This has been going on for a week or two, but it definately seems worse tonight...

/r/ClaudeAI is full of reports that it's down For me claude.ai is down and i can't check my usage but claude code itself works fine

No need for Reddit, their status page has it just fine: https://status.claude.com/

It says 3 Mar 2026. No downtime recorded on this day. Related: Elevated errors in claude.ai, cowork, platform, claude code

It's definitely not "elevated errors". It's down. Inaccessible. Not green. Yellow at best.

What's extra annoying is it works on some accounts and not on others. It works on Cursor running Claude and Antigravity running Claude, but not on the Claude account I paid for personally.

I think it's only down for some people, and/or some times, and therefore is just having "elevated errors" by their definition. I think "down" really means down for everyone.

Fair. It's just that the 98.92% uptime feels misleading.
