Anthropic’s Claude outage disrupts chatbot, API, and Claude Code services

Anthropic’s Claude suffered a widespread outage that disrupted the chatbot, the API, and Claude Code, with users reporting elevated errors and overloaded responses across multiple models. Anthropic said it identified the cause and deployed a fix, then monitored recovery as service gradually returned, though some users continued to see intermittent problems. The outage mattered because it affected both everyday users and developers who rely on Claude for chat, coding, and app integrations.
