Anthropic’s major Claude outage persists with no scope refinement or ETA, keep fallbacks active

TLDR
Treat Claude API and app as degraded with a major incident still under investigation; keep automatic failover, rate limiting, and user-facing degradation messaging in place until Anthropic posts containment or ETA on the status page.
Why this matters
Scope remains cross-surface (API and app) because the status page explicitly labels “elevated errors across surfaces” and has not been revised with containment notes.
What changed
- Official status remains: Major incident, elevated errors across Claude surfaces, status “Investigating,” no ETA or root cause shared.
- No corroborating third-party telemetry or credible ops posts indicating resolution or narrowed scope.
- Unrelated community content surfaced but provides no operational signal for this incident.
Topic context
Use this page when you want fast context on confirmed model launches from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google DeepMind, xAI, Meta, and similar labs without scanning every release note, model card, or developer post yourself. Key angles: openai, anthropic, google deepmind, gemini.
Summary
Anthropic’s status page still lists a major incident causing elevated errors across Claude surfaces with investigation ongoing and no ETA, and there are no credible third-party telemetry or provider signals altering impact scope, so integrators should maintain fallbacks and conservative traffic until an official update clarifies recovery.
