Claude.ai down

Don't worry this is not an outage. Claude is on another lunch break and just like last week [0] after taking a day off on Monday, forgot to tell the whole world first.

He just needs to finish his lunch in 30 mins before going back to work.

Working for me, I can chat to Claude fine.

This is affecting lots of users (myself included) and has prompted an official status page update, so it's very much real for users, but I guess only on claude.ai. Are you using Claude models through something/someone else?

By now they would have done a sweep with Mythos to remove any existing bugs and protect it from any cybersecurity attacks. So what could realistically bring it down at this point? Internal espionage?
