Is Anthropic Down?
Operational
Last checked: loading...
This page is built for fast incident triage. Use it to quickly classify Anthropic service condition, inspect live signals, and apply the smallest safe mitigation before user impact grows.
How To Use This "Is Anthropic Down" Page
Start with the top status indicator to classify current condition as operational, degraded, or outage-like. Next, review live signal rows and recent incident windows. This sequence helps avoid unnecessary full failover during brief noise while still reacting quickly to sustained provider issues.
Community reports can add context but should not replace telemetry. Pair this page with your logs and provider communication before making large traffic routing changes.
If It Is Down, Do This Right Now
- Classify errors by type: 429, timeout, 5xx, or auth failures.
- Reduce retry burst immediately and enforce jittered backoff.
- Protect critical user paths with fallback model/provider routing.
- Lower non-essential throughput until stability returns.
- Rollback mitigations only after stable checks across multiple intervals.
Common Symptoms and Meanings
| Symptom | Likely Meaning | Action |
|---|---|---|
| 429 Too Many Requests | Rate-limit or quota pressure | 429 guide |
| Timeouts increasing | Tail latency / queue pressure | Timeout guide |
| 5xx server errors | Provider-side instability | Enable fallback and cap retries |
| 401/403 failures | Key or permission issue | Validate keys, org/project config |

FAQ
How long do Anthropic incidents usually last?
Duration varies from short spikes to multi-hour windows. Watch trend direction, not one data point.
Should I pause traffic on first degraded signal?
Usually no. Start with controlled mitigation and escalate only when degradation is sustained.
Why can my latency rise before error rates rise?
Capacity pressure often appears in tail latency first, then timeouts and retries increase.
Is this an official Anthropic status page?
No. This is an independent monitor and should be used alongside official channels.
Can user reports be trusted fully?
Treat them as directional signals only. Always validate with monitor data and internal telemetry.
What is the safest failover approach?
Shift critical traffic gradually with circuit breakers and traffic caps, then verify stability before expansion.
