Claude.ai, API, and Claude Code Experiencing Elevated Errors
Claude.ai, the Claude API (api.anthropic.com), and the Claude Code tool are currently experiencing elevated errors. The incident was identified on 2026-04-15 at 14:53 UTC.
Current Status
- Claude.ai Web Interface: Outage
- platform.claude.com Developer Console: Outage
- Claude API (api.anthropic.com): Operational (recovered as of 16:01 UTC)
- Claude Code CLI Tool: Degraded
- Claude Cowork Service: Operational
- Claude for Government: Operational
Specific Issues
Claude.ai and the Platform are down. Login for Claude Code does not work via Claude.ai. However, Claude Code users who are already logged in are still able to use it. The Claude API has fully recovered as of 8:01 PT / 16:01 UTC. Anthropic states the issue has been identified and a fix is being implemented.
Recent History
This follows several recent incidents:
- 2026-04-14: Degraded service on usage and analytics admin API endpoints, resolved.
- 2026-04-13: Claude.ai down, affecting login for Claude.ai and Claude Code between 15:31 and 16:19 UTC, resolved.
- 2026-04-11: Email login broken for approximately one hour, resolved.
- 2026-04-10: Elevated errors on requests to Claude models (non-Opus models affected), resolved.
For developers relying on Claude's services, this means the web interface and developer console are currently unavailable, API calls are functional, and Claude Code access is limited to existing sessions. Monitor the status page for updates on the fix implementation.
