Ask HN: Is Claude Down Again?

46•coderbants•1h ago
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?

Comments

benzible•1h ago
Nope. Me too.
rethab•1h ago
Same issue here. What was the name of that question and answer site again where you had to manually copy and paste code from? ;-)

Official status is still green: https://status.claude.com/

But downdetector is clear: https://downdetector.com/status/claude-ai/

/edit: there's an official incident now: https://status.claude.com/incidents/jm3b4jjy2jrt

buddhistdude•30m ago
oh about that one... we killed it unfortunately
giancarlostoro•19m ago
They just updated it some 4 minutes ago.

> Update - We're currently investigating issues with Claude Code and Claude.ai. Some users may be unable to log in, and others may experience slower than usual performance. The Claude API is not affected.

eduardogarza•1h ago
Authentication down for me
sgt•57m ago
Same here.. I try to log in (via Google) and it just stops me at the "Authorize" step.
avra•1h ago
I was wondering the same. They just updated the status page but it was showing green for a while and I couldn't login.

https://status.claude.com/

coderbants•1h ago
The issues have been described as login/logout, but I'm not sure that's all that's happening. In today's outage and the last the API stopped and kicked the session out.

I only mention this in case someone from Anthropic perhaps isn't aware that it seems to be a wider issue than login/logout (although I'm sure they are!)

verelo•27m ago
Jesus that’s a bad looking status page lol it’s almost a rainbow
behnamoh•23m ago
Weird because it shows green but obviously things aren't working.
lnenad•1h ago
It's really amazing how stability of platforms has gone down in the last year or so.
romanhn•25m ago
If only this was correlated with something else going on in the industry...
erksa•15m ago
yes, the new normal is crazy. Claude/Github et al.

They are dogfooding their own tools and causing so much downtime, all in the spirit of "staying a head".

kush0505•1h ago
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!
izolate•54m ago
Does anyone recall how to code manually? I certainly don't :-)
thrill•40m ago
I do - but then I shudder, and go make a sandwich - which still needs me for the moment.
Hamuko•31m ago
The C-suite doesn't want us to write code by hand anymore, so I think I'm supposed to just drink tea and collect salary whenever Claude is down.
behnamoh•25m ago
I feel ashamed writing code while Claude does it way better than me... I've found my forte is at designing systems and making project-level decisions, something that Claude still doesn't do very well.
siva7•14m ago
I also don't recall what i'm going to do tomorrow as busy as i am. That's what calendars are for.
messh•40m ago
It's down for me
xeornet•40m ago
Auth is failing, session kicked out.
devadjacent•34m ago
It's down. I hate this
UncleOxidant•33m ago
seems to be.
world2vec•29m ago
Weird, it' all looks good to me. Using both Chat and Code variants without issues.
minton•27m ago
Same. I have been using it all morning, no issues.
astatine•28m ago
Same issue. Getting an "internal server error" message
behnamoh•26m ago
Yup, I get:

    OAuth token has expired. Please obtain a new token or refresh your
     existing token.
And their /login page doesn't work.

Can people drop a good LocalLlama setup that I can run on M4?
giancarlostoro•20m ago
Not sure about LocalLlama, but have you tried LMStudio? If you use Zed it will auto-pickup whatever model you enable on LMStudio. I keep meaning to write a blog post about this for people unaware that you can pair the two pretty easily on a Mac. I mostly use CC but like to test offline models now and then to see how far they've come along.
throwaway89201•21m ago
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.

epolanski•20m ago
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.

pgm8705•2m ago
I agree it seems better at complex work. However, I find that it often tries to make ALL work complex. I had a simple bug fix where I knew exactly what the 1-2 line fix was. GPT 5.4 added like 200 LOC and started refactoring the entire function of the app. Was the refactor possibly an improvement? Maybe, but I needed the fix quick so I stopped it and switched to Claude, which did exactly what I was expecting.

I can't login to my subscription
prmph•18m ago
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.

bartread•18m ago
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.
aeblyve•16m ago
I found it absurdly slow yesterday.
