You're not alone: Claude is down right now (Updated: Services restored)
Anthropic said failure rates are dropping as it works to fully resolve 529 Overloaded errors across Claude models.
- On Aug 24, users encountered failed requests and a "529 Overloaded" error accessing Claude. Reports on Downdetector began at 12:30 a.m. ET and persisted before Anthropic officially acknowledged the disruption.
- At 05:06 UTC, Anthropic reported investigating elevated errors affecting Claude Mythos, Claude Fable, Claude Opus, and Claude Opus 4.8. The company identified the cause by 05:27 UTC and began working on a fix.
- Anthropic status history shows degraded performance incidents on Aug 18, 19, and 20, involving Claude Opus and Haiku models. This pattern of recurring disruptions preceded the Aug 24 outage.
- Errors stabilized on Claude Opus and Claude Fable by 3:47 a.m. ET. Anthropic continued resolving other models as of 06:42 UTC, while Downdetector reports suggested failure rates were dropping.
- Anthropic claims 99.29% uptime for Claude tools over 60 days, yet developers using the API face questions about treating service reliability as a core interface component. The root cause remains unexplained.
