Frequently asked questions

Is Claude down right now?

Claude is reporting degraded or failing components on its own status page. Our probe is still reaching claude.ai normally — 24-hour availability from our checks is 100.00% — so the front door is up while something behind it is not. The component list on this page shows which parts Claude says are affected. Last checked 8 minutes ago.

How reliable has Claude been recently?

Measured from our automated checks, Claude has been available 100.00% over 24 hours, 99.95% over 7 days, 99.95% over 30 days. We recorded 21 incidents in the last 30 days.

How fast is Claude responding?

Claude has averaged 136 ms across our successful checks in the past 24 hours, which is fast — comfortably within what a healthy service should return. Response time is measured from our probe to claude.ai and does not include rendering time in your browser.

When did Claude last go down?

The most recent incident DownBits recorded for Claude began on 7 October 2026 at 07:00 IST and lasted 1 hr 10 min. It was logged as degraded performance. Detected by DownBits probe.

Claude is not working for me. Is it just me?

Our probe is also failing to reach claude.ai normally, so this is not just you. Use the report button on this page to add your own signal — when several people report the same problem within a short window, it appears on the chart above.

Claude is not working — what to try

  1. 1

    Separate API failures from dashboard failures

    A working marketing site does not mean a working API. Call the API host directly — curl -s -o /dev/null -w "%{http_code}" https://claude.ai/ — and check the vendor status page linked above for component-level detail, since one component can fail while the rest stay green.

  2. 2

    Check for rate limiting before assuming an outage

    HTTP 429 and 529 mean you are being throttled, not that the service is down. Inspect the response headers for a retry-after value and back off exponentially rather than retrying immediately.

  3. 3

    Verify your credentials have not expired

    A 401 or 403 is an authentication problem on your side. Rotated keys, an expired billing method, or a revoked token all present as sudden total failure.

  4. 4

    Confirm the problem is not your connection

    Open any other site. If nothing loads, the issue is your network rather than Claude. On Windows run ping claude.ai and nslookup claude.ai in Command Prompt; on macOS or Linux use Terminal. A DNS failure and a server failure look identical in a browser but are very different problems.

  5. 5

    Bypass your own cache

    Load claude.ai in a private or incognito window. If it works there, clear cookies and site data for claude.ai in your normal browser rather than clearing everything.

  6. 6

    Try a different network

    Switch from Wi-Fi to mobile data, or vice versa. Regional ISP routing problems are common and often affect one carrier while others are unaffected.
