Questions

Is Claude down right now?

Claude’s official status page says: All Systems Operational. This page checks it again when you load it, at most every 5 minutes.

When was Claude last down?

Which parts of Claude are tracked here?

What should I do if Claude is down?

Retry with exponential backoff, fall back to another model or provider if your product allows it, and avoid hammering the API while it recovers.

claude.ai won't open but API calls still work?

That's normal during a partial incident: status.claude.com lists claude.ai, the Claude Console, the Claude API and Claude Code as separate components.

Claude Code errors — does that mean the API is down?

Not always — Claude Code has its own component row. Check the API row separately before assuming your api.anthropic.com integration is affected.

How do I tell if Claude is down for everyone or only for me?

If the status above is operational but Claude still fails for you, the cause is probably on your side: try another network, clear the cache, or check your own connection. If it shows a degradation or an outage, others are affected too.

How can I get alerted when my own site goes down?

OpenUptime checks your site every minute and sends an alert to Slack, Telegram, email or a webhook the moment it stops responding. It is open source and free to start.
