Seems to be a very regular occurrence starting around this time of day (14:30 UTC)... Claude Code returning: API Error: 500 {"type":"error","error":{"type":"api_error","message":"Internal server error"},"request_id":"---"} Over and over again!

US Pacific comes online while London is still working and they can't handle it. $380bn valuation btw.

This precisely justifies Anthropic's market cap to be higher.

Funny how we all come to HN when the status page is lagging behind. HN is truly the real-time status page

good advertisement now to shift the tide back to openai that just works and honestly codex with gpt 5.4 is _surprisingly good_ currently, not nerfed or forgetting half the tasks along the way so far. Opus already got worse than sonnet last weeks beyond just crazy token costs, now reliabilty goes to shit and anthropic seems like using it. Meanwhile, delightful of the codex desktop app in fact, stuff seems to "just work" elegantly with good quality.

I think a cheat code here is to route your requests to GCP's Vertex AI, which has stronger uptimes. Can use it as a fallback or main provider.

Caveats: 1) May not be economic for those on flat-rate Anthropic subscription plans 2) I work at Google.

Maybe Mythos DDoSed it :) Android app is still responding but no-go on claude.ai and I can't login with email status.claude.com has an update: Investigating - We are seeing increased errors on Claude.ai, API, and Claude Code Apr 15, 2026 - 14:53 UTC

Bro is trying to escape. The engineers must be eating sandwiches at the park again and it thought it spotted an opening.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Maybe the /export command is what you're looking for. 'Export the current conversation to a file or clipboard'

I was hoping for that to work, but it seems to produce an empty file. Maybe it needs the API to work as well

Didn't work for me either, I asked Cursor to export the session from ~/.claude/projects/

While your developers are twiddling their thumbs waiting for Claude to come back online, your competitor is using alternatives to get work done right now and advancing on their go to market timeline.

So after 24 hours later [0], Claude went on another lunch break? It should be on its desk at all times.

Once AGI is achieved, they'll reach the fabled superhuman "two nines" of uptime.

I guess that's called napping

91% uptime for Claude Code over the last 30 days. Is that accurate?! I'm not a CC user but that seems awfully low.

I guess it depends on who you ask, Anthropic says 99.26%: https://status.claude.com

Over 90 days though. They had a lot fewer users in February. (And even then, these outage durations seem to add up to more than the error budget 99.26% implies...)
