Claude is currently experiencing an outage, with users reporting problems accessing chats, sending messages, and using multiple Claude models. The disruption appears to be affecting Claude’s core AI services, leaving some users unable to load conversations or receive responses.
Reports of problems are increasing as users encounter errors and failed requests across the platform.
Live status below.
Claude Down Right Now
Users attempting to use Claude are reporting a range of issues, including:
- Claude chats not loading
- Existing conversations failing to open
- New messages failing to send
- Claude responses getting stuck
- Model unavailable errors
- Requests failing or returning errors
- Claude becoming extremely slow or unresponsive
- Problems switching between models
- Claude Code and other Claude-powered workflows potentially being affected
The issue appears to be more than an isolated account problem, with multiple users reporting similar failures.
Anthropic’s official Claude status page has also recorded service incidents in recent days, including elevated errors affecting Claude services.
Exhaustive List of Affected Claude Models
Reports indicate that the current disruption is affecting multiple models across Anthropic’s Claude lineup.
The affected-model list currently includes:
- Claude Mythos/Fable 5.1
- Claude Mythos/Fable 5
- Claude Opus 5
- Claude Opus 4.8
- Claude Opus 4.6
This is significant because the reported failures are not limited to a single model. Users relying on different Claude models may therefore encounter similar problems when attempting to start or continue conversations.
Claude Chats Not Loading
One of the most noticeable problems being reported is that Claude chats are not loading properly.

For people using Claude for coding, research, writing, analysis, and other workflows, this can effectively make the service unavailable even when the Claude website itself remains accessible.
Claude Model Unavailable Errors
Another reported symptom is the appearance of model availability or request errors.
Users attempting to select or use affected models may find that their request fails rather than receiving a normal Claude response.
This can be particularly frustrating for users who specifically depend on higher-end Claude models for complex coding, reasoning, research, or long-context workloads.
Is Claude Completely Down?
Claude is experiencing service problems, but the outage may not affect every user or every Claude feature in exactly the same way.
Some users may still be able to access Claude while experiencing failures with particular models or individual conversations.
Anthropic’s status history shows that Claude has experienced several recent incidents involving elevated errors and degraded performance, including issues affecting Claude.ai and Claude Code.
What Is Causing the Claude Outage?
Anthropic has not publicly provided a definitive root cause for the broader problems described in this report at the time of writing.
The exact cause should therefore not be assumed to be a server failure, model problem, capacity issue, or infrastructure failure until Anthropic confirms it.
The current symptoms suggest a service-side issue rather than a problem isolated to individual users, particularly where multiple users and models are affected.
We will update this article as Anthropic provides additional information.
Claude Outage Reports Continue
The latest incident comes after several recent Claude service disruptions.
Anthropic’s official status history shows incidents involving elevated errors, degraded performance, Claude.ai, Claude Code, and other Claude services.
Recent reporting has also documented users experiencing widespread Claude availability problems and elevated errors across multiple models.
For users who depend on Claude as part of their daily workflow, repeated disruptions can be particularly disruptive because Claude is increasingly used for software development, research, writing, and business tasks.
What To Do If Claude Is Not Working
If Claude is currently unavailable for you, there may not be anything that can be fixed locally.
You can try:
- Refreshing Claude
- Opening Claude in a private/incognito window
- Signing out and signing back in
- Trying another browser
- Checking whether a different Claude model works
- Waiting a few minutes and retrying
- Checking Anthropic’s official status page for updates
Avoid repeatedly submitting the same request if Claude is experiencing server-side failures, as the request may continue to fail until the underlying issue is resolved.
