- 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
- 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 - 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.
