And here I thought April would be the month they could hit the mythical two 9's of uptime

They hit 9, twice, does it count?

That's because Claude is on a lunch break and decided to take a short breather.

More than by the downtime I am much more surprised by the actual uptime. Hard to imagine how difficult this must be, given the speed of growth.

session usage limits this week feel like ass. Even when being careful to not break prefix caching.

I've been seeing much higher session limits late at night (US time). Workday usage struggles though.

I'm looking into how to structure my work to run some autonomous-safe jobs overnight to take advantage of it.

I didn’t understand what this meant so I ran it through Claude and it told me.

I am getting an error that selected model (I selected Opus 4.6 and 4.7 later) is unavailable but when I tried Sonnet it worked for me.

"We are investigating an issue preventing users from reaching Claude.ai, and will provide an update as soon as possible."

Who is We? I thought software engineers were going to be redundant and AI could do it all itself? (not to take anything away from Claude code + Claude both of which I love)

I almost uninstalled the Claude app because I thought they started blocking VPNs. Lol

Good thing I checked Hacker News first
