by jakub_jo - cant even log into console
https://console.anthropic.com/api/auth/send_magic_link 500 (Internal Server Error)
by delaminator - Claude will return soon Claude is currently experiencing a temporary service disruption. We’re working on it, please check back soon.by tooa
- Wow, that is a lot of not-green for a 30 day status page.by 1dom
- My auth token expired and when I type /login in Claude Code it leads me to a webpage showing:
OAuth Request Failed Internal server error
by belevme - Related question: why does Claude Code need a new auth token very few days?? It's so annoying.by phgn
- Still down for me. Anyone got a workaround?by vinkamath
- This is the day I decided to finally sign up and use claude-code - and then I'm greeted with this exact page. Gahhh!by woodpanel
- I just managed to log in to claude code. You have to spam the login when you recive the screen with authorize press on it multiple times. you will recive errors than try again i have tried like 70 times and it started finnalyby Mariancbn
- And it's expiring a lot lately. I used to go weeks without it expiring, yesterday it expired twice in one day.by mr_mitm
- Until it's back up and running, something I did that worked for me was access the web version of Claude Code, link the repository there, and ask them to implement something. After they implemented it, they enabled the option to click the "Open in CLI" button, allowing me to use Claude Code CLI from the terminal again.by rgazeredo

- This has 100% ruined my morning! -_- I tried many different ways to get in, I'm using claude in terminal in cursor.
Fix for me: Hopefully will work for you guys too, I logged out of claude, restarted cursor, used the anthropic console login method instead of normal login, when you click the link it gives you an option to signin with chat credentials instead, there it did not work, I pressed the link given in claude a few times and kept trying, finally I was given a pastable code, this took a while to be accepted in terminal but now is logged in.
hope it works for someone else aswell!!
by adamhurl - Login on claude.ai seems to be back online, but login through Claude Code via OAuth is still down for me. So I'm twiddling my thumbs.by jimkleiber
- It's usually down about at least once a day for me anyway. Previously it used to be down during beginning and end of US work times. Now that they've geographically spread out their servers, it's down at random times instead.
TBH I'm not so irritated by this. It keeps me grounded, and saves me from being unconsciously outsourcing all the hard work of thought process to AI.
- Still seeing issues on the OAuth flow despite a "a fix [having] been implemented". Looks like whatever happened probably trashed the session database since it's forcing Claude Code to re-auth.by AgentK20
- OAuth handshake still gives internal server errors when you try to /login from Claude Codeby belevme
- Pro tip: if you pay for Claude, also subscribe to status updates here: https://status.claude.com . you may want to add a rule to filter these to a tag or folder as they can be quite spammy, but it has helped me lots. It tells you which specific models are down and what platforms are down, such as claude web, app, API, etc.by bachittle
- I signed up for a Claude Teams account last week. File uploads were not working anywhere - web, desktop, Android app. As soon as I switched over to a personal account they worked again. Switch back to Team account, broken again with just a cryptic 404 error popping up.
They were broken for a week, I found several people talking about it on Reddit. But no word from Anthropic, no status page info.
I opened a support request, there was no response until 3 or 4 days later when someone messaged to say that it was fixed, and a status page related to it magically appeared.
by esperent - This makes me wonder: what do developers, who completely rely on LLMs to write their code, do when the service is down?
I realize this is already a problem for other jobs, which require working with SAAS, but it seems odd to me that now some developers will fall into this "helpless" category as well.
by fainpul - Switch to codex? :)by cjr
- If they're smart, they just switch to ppq.ai or an openrouter provider where they can purchase prepaid tokens from various providers with many alternative models available.by jasonvorhe
- Even worse the on-call folks who need to do recovery but need an LLM to do it, but surprise they are both on the same cloud provider.by ares623
- As a technical ... I don't know what to call myself anymore; not a product manager but not a developer nor engineer.
The answer: audibly swear out loud.
by mayhaps - > This makes me wonder: what do developers, who completely rely on LLMs to write their code, do when the service is down?
Even the engineers at these AI companies can't use these LLMs to fix an outage when there is one. Especially SREs.
But if one has to just sit there and "wait" for the outage to subside then perhaps the kitchen timer just went off and declared that these "developers" are cooked.
by rvz - Doubtful all services are ever down simultaneously, either way:
What do devs do when Github or Gitlab is down?
AWS? GCP? Azure?
Or whatever Atlassian product they're using.
Plus, most devs do a bit more than just produce lines of code.
by erikbye - Non-serious answer: I'll go for a walk.
Serious answer: I can write code manually, but it feels like a waste of time. I'll just go for a walk to synthesize my ideas if a service was down, and I don't think not writing actual code for a day is a huge problem. So focus on health and maybe even talk to humans.
by mewpmewp2 - Early in my career (which started in civil engineering) I was working with a man at the very end of his, which started in the 1950s. I was the young tech-focused intern who found a way to use a computer for everything even when printed and sometimes hand-drawn plans were the standard of the day. He asked me once if I knew how to use a slide rule, which I didn't.
"Well, what do you do when the power goes out?", he asked.
"I go home, just like you would.", I said with a smile.
He paused for a moment and nodded, "you know, you're absolutely right".
by efsavage - I didn't even know they had a status page. Claude (with pro subscription) is often so unreliable with regards to connectivity and performance that I'm looking for something more predictable.
It randomly fails halfway through a response, sometimes very slow to start, hangs for long periods during a response, and so on.
The Claude chat interface can also slow down with long sessions. I sometimes use Claude code which is better, but I'm not a huge fan of terminal interfaces. I'm aware of third party frontends, but I believe those require api access which I don't like for personal use.
