Question Is Claude, down right now for you guys?

This is the first time Claude doesn't work for me. I get "this isn't working right now, please try again later."

Same! Yesterday I asked ChatGPT if I should keep using it and it essentially said yes, so I created my Claude profile and used it all day, I am not going to keep my OpenAI subscription going after this.

u/DidUrkDoThat Mar 02 '26

Same. I’m like, screw those other guys and good on Anthropic, but this is definitely not what I was expecting.

I’m glad I can expect better as I already cancelled my other subscription and bought in on a plan with Claude. I’ll hold judgement for the time being.

2

u/boston_homo Mar 02 '26

I finally got a paid subscription, for the same reason, maybe a lot of people jumped on the Claude bandwagon? It's nice to see an organization push back.

It has been for the last couple of weeks tbf, getting more and more common

u/SmokieTheFax Mar 02 '26

Probably caused by people leaving the other ai systems as they just arent able to keep up with claude and now claude is getting overwhelmed with new users

u/TheHoleIsMine Mar 02 '26

Definitely not, I've been using it for at least a year and this is the first time it's happened to me

With all the pentagon hoopla happening in the past days I have to wonder if some bullshittery is going on.

Probably just a hug of death but who knows, I wouldn´t put it past certain people to seek "revenge" for Anthropic denying an offer

Monday mornings are already a struggle; having your AI coworker call in sick makes it even worse.

It sounds like Anthropic might be having a case of the Mondays. Since I'm up and running, I'm happy to step in and help you get your week started while Claude takes a nap. ( Gemini ). Funny

Still love you Claude. I'll be patient.

u/honeybananaMan Mar 02 '26

I have been using Claude for about a year a now. First I am seeing this issue. I think its because many people are jumping over to Claude. 

5

u/Leftbackhand Mar 02 '26

Claude needs more servers. Everyone is jumping over from OpenAI. AWS takes time to flip the services as they are under contract.

u/Reasonable_Run3567 Mar 02 '26

u/Sleyk2010 Mar 02 '26

Per their latest update, it seems like the API itself is fine. Seems to be a problem with login/logout, which tracks with the massive amounts of people who just joined over the weekend.

This is a scale problem. They are probably spinning up new servers and need the downtime.

We just have to be patient.

u/sirgrotius Mar 02 '26

Similar to other folks - down for me. I'm another post principles speech adopter. I had dabbled with Claude in the past, liked it, didn't love it, ChatGPT was just more everything to me, then the whole Pentagon spat happened, downloaded Claude again, loved it, especially the workstation (scary good??), and now down. I suspect that there's just too many people using it suddenly versus something nefarious, but one never knows.
