Claude is experiencing a service outage that is affecting users across both desktop and mobile, according to Anthropic’s status page. The company said it has identified “elevated errors” on Claude.ai and is working to restore normal access as quickly as possible.
The disruption is not limited to the main chatbot experience. Anthropic said the issue also affects login and other surfaces, including Claude.code, which means some users may be unable to access coding-related features or complete sessions reliably.
What Anthropic has confirmed
Anthropic’s status update says users may run into problems when trying to log in, use voice mode, or finish chats with Claude. The company did not give a specific cause for the outage in the latest update.
The service appears to be unstable rather than fully offline. Reporting showed spikes that moved up and down, suggesting the outage may be affecting only some users or only certain parts of the platform at a time.
What users are seeing
According to Downdetector data, reports for Claude rose rapidly from the normal baseline to around 2,700 in a short period. That level of reporting usually signals a real service issue, especially when complaints cluster within minutes.
The pattern also suggests that access may vary by user and device. Some people may still reach parts of the service while others face repeated errors, login failures, or interrupted chats.
Reported issues right now
- Login failures on Claude.ai and related surfaces.
- Errors in voice mode during active chats.
- Problems completing conversations with Claude.
- Login issues affecting Claude.code and other connected tools.
Anthropic has not indicated whether the outage is tied to a broader infrastructure problem, a software deployment, or a regional issue. The company’s latest message only states that engineers are actively working on a fix.
Why the outage matters
Claude has become a widely used AI assistant for writing, coding, and general productivity tasks. When login and chat functions fail at the same time, the disruption can stop both casual users and developers from completing time-sensitive work.
The inclusion of Claude.code in the affected surfaces is especially notable for developers. If the issue continues, teams relying on Claude for app work, debugging, or workflow automation may need to switch to backup tools until service stabilizes.
Live status to watch
Users checking the service should keep an eye on Anthropic’s status page for new updates. Downdetector activity can also help show whether the outage is easing or spreading further.
At the moment, the key signal is that Anthropic has acknowledged the problem and said it is working to resolve elevated errors on Claude.ai. The next status update will likely determine whether the outage is still intermittent or moving toward full recovery.
