because if it is, god, I'm done with this industry. just done. I rather sell my toenail clippings for scraps of food than deal with this shitty insanity

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
> 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.
They are dogfooding their own tools and causing so much downtime, all in the spirit of "staying a head".
Yeah we can tell...
For example, if there's a problem that gets caught at the 1% stage of a staged rollout, we're probably not going to find ourselves discussing it on HN.
I got nothing for the github outages this year though, that seems like incompetence.
They should probably buy subscriptions to those Chinese agents.
The Pentagon spat is having a hell of a Streisand Effect on them; DAUs +180% (source: SimilarWeb), paid subs doubling. If past experience is any indicator, it'll settle down as they scale up (or they fall out of the news cycle).

Esc to cancelI 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!)
One day I started getting API errors across requests and initially assumed it was something on my side. After digging into it, the provider I was using was getting overloaded and intermittently failing.
That was the moment I realized relying on a single external service was a risk I hadn’t really planned for.
Now I keep two providers configured: a primary and a secondary. If error rates spike or the API stops responding, the system can fail over instead of the whole product going down.
It added a bit of complexity, but the peace of mind is worth it.

Good times..
All the vibe coding is clearly not working out too well.
Everything was fine last week then suddenly even the smallest tasks can't be completed correctly
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.
