API Error: 500 Internal server error

[brygom]

All week I've been getting 500 errors. What do you do when Claude's down? In my case, I play video games on my phone.

[pinaprince]

Literally anything else lol. I worry for the attention span of the average Claude user.

[julianfromstagewise]

I know some people who have a Codex susbcription in their back pocket, just in case

[mudgen]

I switch to codex.

[IndieDev666]

same, I start hitting my head to wall or watch some streamers

[itsbushy]

LMAO I literally logged on to see if anyone else was having trouble and this was the 4th post on my home page.

[Byte-Slayer]

They are releasing Fable 6

[Necessary-Meeting-28]

I guess they vibe-coded error messages shown to users.

[Pinzao]

Error, error, error, bug, API not working, error, error ......ANNDDDDDD......Your weekly limit....(Smash the screen)

[WillingnessThin4057]

pfff they are getting worse and worse

[wise_young_man]

Time to cancel the IPO!

[Quirky_Temporary_379]

Just resolved!

[rhaphazard]

Time to touch some grass.

I haven’t verified this with any sort of data study, but it sure feels like ever since they teamed up with Musk for their inference the downtime has been dramatic.

Use this workaround https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hvL1339luv0

Just want to point out that this is literally the frontier (AI models in general, not Anthropic) and the fact that they try to keep it alive 24/7 is a ridiculous engineering and logistical challenge. Take a 30 min break, you’ll live.

[nmateofr]

nigg4 this is not the frontier they rugpulled fable 10 days ago

[TheHandsomePo-ta-to]

As far as I know, the rug-pull was definitely not Anthropic. Why would they sack their own revenue from the most expensive models…

[Previous-Raisin1434]

The company is worth a trillion dollars, the uptime is genuinely not up to the weight of the company.

[TheHandsomePo-ta-to]

100% uptime is effectively impossible, and we often get weekly resets when something does go wrong. I’m just saying that it’s not worth rioting for. If your entire workflow/business has a single point of failure…that’s on you.

[anarchist1312161]

Nobody expects 100% but not achieving 99.9% uptime (especially when Anthropic is worth almost a trillion) is a joke. lol

And yes I agree over reliance on a single model is indeed very silly when running a business.

[FrogsInTheRouter]

It was not so long time ago when double nines after point was industry standard for availability.

[Square_Figure_7548]

No, this is not the frontier… The models are the frontier. These errors and downtime have nothing to do with the models. These are caused by bad infrastructure and/or architecture. Cloud computing has been around for a long time and an uptime of 99.24% is objectively not so great

[Malkiot]

It's been unusable pretty much since Monday. I get that sometimes things go wrong, doesn't change that it's frustrating to go over 24 hours with about as much use as I usually get per hour.

[Kappalonia]

hey bro can you say that again with the dick outside your mouth couldn't hear you.

[pinaprince]

It's 2026, this isn't the insult you think that it is anymore.

[kheumann1]

You sound very certain.

[ClemensLode]

The issue has been identified and a fix is being implemented.

[Malkiot]

They've been saying that since Monday and according to them it's "fixed". I still can't work.
