In the past few weeks:

- Anthropic introduced stringent limits at peak hours. By "introduced" I mean announced it on a random dev's Xitter account

- Users suddenly started burning through all of their tokens even on trivial tasks. Anthropic never truly acknowledged it, their random devs posted "we're working on it".

- One of the workarounds was to somewhat quietly reduce default reasoning to medium

- OpenClaw and "usage through other tools" banned

- Announce "redesigned Claude Code Desktop App that lets you run many parallel sessions"

- Availability is still circling down the drain

- Dario Amodei is in continuous "trust us we have AGI coding is solved we don't need programmers just give us more money" mode now

Have anyone found good techniques to get a session out of Claude Code, so that I can point another tool at it and pick up there? This always seems to happen at the worst possible time, after having spent an hour getting deep into something – half finished edits across files, subagents running, etc.

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

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.

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.

If you work in marketing, you forgot to give us a link.

Funny that I just saw this after have "Console temporarily unavailable". I am currently at the stage that: 1) I think Claude Code is very impressive 2) I think pretty much everything else about them is terrible. * Support really poor, raised a ticket last week and have heard nothing back at all * Separation of claude.ai accounts and console accounts is super confusing * Couldn't log into the platform since I had an o…

yeah the desktop app forgets it's the desktop app. claude code feels local right up until the api starts coughing up 500s. same thing, just in a terminal instead of a window.

It's been a bit disruptive to my workflows tbh. What alternatives are people using? Sell them to me please

I have been using turnstone with local models more. The open models are getting “good enough” that paying $100 or $200 a month is making less sense.

What sort of local models are we talking (and what sort of hardware)?

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I literally just came to HN to ask if I was alone with the acurséd "API Error: 500 {"type":"error","error":{"type":"api_error","message":"Internal server error"},"request_id":"…"}" greeting me and telling me to get back to using my brain!

500-series errors are server-side, 400 series are client side. A 500 error is almost never "just you". ( 404 is a client error, because it's the client requesting a file that does not exist, a problem with the client, not the server, who is _obviously_ blameless in the file not existing. )

> A 500 error is almost never "just you".

I know you added the defensive "almost" but if I had a dollar each time I saw a 500 due to the session cookies being sent by the client that made the backend explode - for whatever root cause - well, I would have a fatter wallet.

Honest suggestion - ask the agent to figure a compat shim out, the files are jsonl stored at your ~/.claude/sessions you can most likely just reshape it to work on OpenCode or similar, or have a different Claude Code config that points to OpenRouter or other API style endpoint CC supports and then you can swap accounts and it should still work!
