Their GitHub issues are wild; random people are posting the same useless "bug reports" over and over multiple times per minute. https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues

This is the kind of abuse that will cause them to just close GitHub issues.

Or they'll have to put something in the system prompt to handle this special case where it first checks for existing bugs and just upvotes it, rather than creating a new one.

I find it a bit annoying that the last place where I can learn about an Anthropic outage is the Anthropic Status page.

https://status.claude.com/ what do you mean it's right there. Judging by the Github issues it only took them 10 minutes to add the issue message.

It took them about 15 minutes to update that page

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Ah yes, because only the west coast of a single country are the priority for a globally distributed company.

HN users assuming the US are the only country in the World, episode #53985902582.

Only one half of the US :)

Us east coasters here are having a chuckle (what else can we do? we can't get work done while Claude is down... I'll be damned if I have to type in code letter by letter ever again!).

As best as I can tell, there was less than 10 minutes from the last successful request I made and when the downtime was added to their status page - and I'm not particularly crazy with my usage or anything, the gap could have been less than that.

Honestly, that seems okay to me. Certainly better than what AWS usually does.

It appeared there like 5 minutes ago; it was down for at least 20 before that.

That's 20 minutes of millions of people visiting the status page, seeing green, and then spending that time resetting their context, looking at their system and network configs, etc.

It's not a huge deal, but for $200/month it'd be nice if, after the first two-thousand 500s went out (which I imagine is less than 10 seconds), the status page automatically went orange.
