Troubleshooting Claude (Anthropic)

  1. Check the service's official status page for active incidents.
  2. Verify your API key and authentication headers.
  3. Check your rate limit usage and quota.
  4. Inspect the HTTP status code — 429 means rate-limited, 503 means service unavailable.
  5. Implement retry logic with exponential backoff.
  6. Test outbound connectivity from your own server.
Why does Claude (Anthropic) go down?

Claude outages typically surface as model errors, slow responses, or "high demand" capacity messages — Claude.ai (the consumer app) and the Anthropic API are affected independently.

Common issues

  • Capacity throttling during peak hours, where free users see "Claude is experiencing high demand" while Pro users continue working.
  • Specific Claude model variants (Sonnet, Haiku, Opus) being temporarily unavailable while others still respond.
  • File upload and artifact rendering issues in Claude.ai that don't affect plain text generation.
  • API rate-limit errors that look like outages but are quota-related.
  • Long context responses cutting off when upstream timeouts are hit before the full reply streams.

What you can try

  • Check status.anthropic.com — the API and the consumer app have separate status indicators.
  • If one model is unavailable, switching to a different one (Opus → Sonnet, etc.) usually works immediately.
  • For API errors, exponential backoff before retrying. Don't hot-loop on 429s.
