Claude was down – here's everything we know When users began encountering difficulties with Claude, the AI chatbot developed by Anthropic, it became clear that the issue was not isolated. Reports of login failures, voice mode malfunctions, and delayed responses surged, prompting widespread concern. TechRadar initiated a live blog to track the situation, offering real-time updates as Anthropic worked to resolve the problem. The outage, described as intermittent, affected both desktop and mobile users, with some experiencing prolonged disruptions while others saw partial functionality. Anthropic confirmed the issue on its status page, stating that "elevated errors" were impacting Claude.ai. The company acknowledged that users faced challenges with logging in, using voice mode, and completing conversations. The problem, which had been reported on platforms like Down Detector, saw a spike in outage notifications, reaching over 2,900 as of 11:32 AM ET. While the exact cause of the errors remained unclear, Anthropic emphasized that the team was actively investigating and working to restore full service. The situation showed signs of improvement as the day progressed. By 12:17 PM ET, Anthropic updated its status page to indicate that the team was "continuing to work on a fix for this issue." This development suggested that the elevated errors were being addressed, potentially resolving the login and voice mode problems. However, some users reported lingering issues, with delays in response times and occasional login failures. The company’s commitment to resolving the issue was underscored by its ongoing monitoring efforts to prevent recurrence. A significant breakthrough came at 12:44 PM ET, when Anthropic announced that a fix had been applied and that success rates were recovering across affected services.#anthropic #claude_ai #status_page #techradar #down_detector
