Is Claude Down Again?
I've started getting some 401 errors on a subscription again and oauth seems to be struggling to restore the session. Is it just me?
Experienced same... they logged me out on claude code a few minutes ago. And when I login, it makes me wait >15000ms for the auth (which exceeds their cutoff time), so auth fails!
I was wondering the same. They just updated the status page but it was showing green for a while and I couldn't login.

It's really amazing how stability of platforms has gone down in the last year or so.
Authentication down for me
Same here:
OAuth error: timeout of 15000ms exceeded
Press Enter to retry.
Yep same here:
OAuth error: timeout of 15000ms exceeded
Press Enter to retry.
Does anyone recall how to code manually? I certainly don't :-)
Yes they are down --
/login

I use Big-AGI [1] as selfhosted open source LLM workspace, and it's quite telling that when adding API keys for Anthropic, it presents a note inbetween reading "Experiencing Issues? Check Anthropic status" that it doesn't for any other model provider.

I don't know about down but I use the VS Code extension on a Pro plan (that I'm considering upgrading from) and it's been slower than molasses flowing uphill in winter for me this afternoon. I'm (a) feeling unwell, and (b) up against a deadline, so this is starting to damage my calm.
Same issue. Getting an "internal server error" message
Time for all of the cosplaying developers to sit around and twiddle their thumbs.
Are they going to extend my subscription time as a result? It ends today, but I was locked out an hour or so ago, and I'm not sure if that was actually due to this outage.
All the vibe coding is clearly not working out too well.
Can people drop a good LocalLlama setup that I can run on M4?
Slightly ot but I've been using OpenAI's GPT 5.4 on Codex and so far finding it more convincing than Claude with Opus 4.6 at maximum thinking for my use cases.
I'm more interested in helping with design and architecture rather than having it author tons of code.
Keep in mind that OpenAI has a way more generous tier for 20$ than Anthropic's one, and I think you can even use codex for free with the latest models, so give it a shot, you may find it better than you expected and a solid backup to Claude.
I can't login to my subscription
Weird, it' all looks good to me. Using both Chat and Code variants without issues.
I found it absurdly slow yesterday.
Auth is failing, session kicked out.
Yup, I get:
OAuth token has expired. Please obtain a new token or refresh your
existing token.
And their /login page doesn't work.

oauth `redirect_url` points to localhost, so the login redirect hangs
Can someone that's worked at one of these big companies honestly explain how it happens that when these guys are down, it's never for like 10-15 mins ... it's always 1-2+ hours? Do they not have mechanisms in place to revert their migrations and deployments? What goes on behind the scenes during these "outages"?
Looks like I'm debugging this issue myself.
claude looking for that $500k salary, too
Login failed: Request failed with status code 500
Good times..
Maybe unrelated but Claude has not only been slow but quality has also been bad the last 3-4 days.
Some of my projects were doing okay until this weekend and then suddenly even the smallest tasks can't be completed correctly
Working for me (Desktop + Code) but had a bunch of oauth issues this morning and it's been up and down like a drunken monkey on a trampoline all week, especially around start of biz times in the US.
The Pentagon spat is having a hell of a Streisand Effect on them; DAUs +180% (source: SimilarWeb), paid subs doubling. If past experience is any indicator, it'll settle down as they scale up (or they fall out of the news cycle).

I ran into this with my own SaaS a while back.
One day I started getting API errors across requests and initially assumed it was something on my side. After digging into it, the provider I was using was getting overloaded and intermittently failing.
That was the moment I realized relying on a single external service was a risk I hadn’t really planned for.
Now I keep two providers configured: a primary and a secondary. If error rates spike or the API stops responding, the system can fail over instead of the whole product going down.
It added a bit of complexity, but the peace of mind is worth it.
coding is largely solved - a soundbite that will live in infamy
