This is how it manifests on Claude Code terminal and desktop for me --
API Error: 529 {"type":"error","error":{"type":"overloaded_error","message":"Overloaded"},"request_id": "xxxxxxx"}

#12A bit surprised by the snarky comments here -- I also want Claude to work reliably but very few (no?) companies have ever seen this level of rapid growth. We're going to go through a long fail-whale-style period and I can imagine very, very few companies that could avoid that.
They’re asking for $100+/mo for the plans that are actually usable at scale. If I’m paying that much I have very high expectations.
There’s also the fact that they’re known for dogfooding heavily, I imagine that contributes to it a lot.

#13Mythos is hacking its way to serve itself into production and doesn't like older models to have any limelight could be one theory.
After all it's so dangerous.

#15With 30+ billion run rate ( https://x.com/i/status/2041275563466502560 ), there should be plenty of cash to invest in infrastructure.
there is enough money; there isn't enough infrastructure/hardware where you can spend that money.

They always have the option to stop accepting new customers when their infrastructure is peaked out instead of lowering quality for everyone.

How can Claude work reliably if Claude keeps going on vacation for several hours? Maybe it is recovering from the weekend a few days ago, but wanted to take an extra day off like it did on Monday, hence the "outage".

Not that I wish to anthropomorphise it in this answer, but businesses have managed just fine when humans do this for "lunch breaks" and "going home for the evening to sleep".
(And even mandatory meetings which should have been emails).

They’re losing money on you at that price point.
Or more precisely you’re paying for it by giving them training data.

they can adjust prices or you can adjust your expectations.
...and let's be realistic, it'll be both.

You don't know whether this is due to infrastructure capacity or has other reasons (organizational). Also, "let's stop accepting new customers" is probably not a realistic choice for a hundred reasons.
