Claude Status
Current Claude.ai, API, Console, Claude Code, and component health.
AI Status Watch
Check whether Claude is down, slow, returning API errors, or failing in Claude Code. Compare live Claude status, 529 overloaded errors, timeouts, and recent Anthropic incidents from one independent hub.

Pick the right check
Claude status, slow, API, or outage?
Most searches for Claude status are really asking one of four questions. Use the closest match first instead of treating every symptom as a full outage.
Check live status
Claude Slow
Slow replies, Claude Code lag, usage limits, long context, or green status but poor performance.
Claude API Errors
429 rate limits, 529 overloaded, timeouts, 500/503 errors, and request-log triage.
Claude Code Slow
CLI lag, MCP tools, long context, terminal issues, and coding-agent slowdowns.
Common symptoms
Fast troubleshooting paths
These pages answer the problems official status pages usually cannot: green status but slow behavior, API overload errors, and Claude Code workflows that feel worse than usual.
Status green but slow
Official Claude status is operational, but Claude.ai, API, or Claude Code still feels degraded.
Timeout or stream idle
Claude API requests time out, stream stalls, or Claude Code hangs during long runs.
Claude Code got slower
Claude Code is super slow, too slow, stuck in tools, or carrying too much context.
529 overloaded
Claude Code or Anthropic API returns 529 overloaded, retry loops, or temporary server-side overload.
Model unavailable
Fable 5, Mythos 5, model picker, or model access errors affect one Claude model or account path.
Claude Down
Full outage checks when Claude.ai, Claude API, or Claude Code is unavailable.
Live Claude Components
Use component-level status to tell whether the issue affects Claude.ai, Claude API, Claude Code, Console, or a narrower Anthropic service.
| Component | Status | What it affects |
|---|---|---|
| claude.ai | operational | Web app, chat UI, and login experience. |
| Claude Console (platform.claude.com) | operational | Developer console and platform settings. |
| Claude API (api.anthropic.com) | operational | API requests to api.anthropic.com. |
| Claude Code | operational | Coding agent, CLI, and IDE-related workflows. |
| Claude Cowork | operational | Team collaboration features. |
| Claude for Government | operational | Government environment. |

How to use AI Status Watch
Start broad, then move to the page that matches the exact symptom.
- Use Claude Status when you want the current official component summary.
- Use Claude Slow when Claude works but feels slower, stuck, or degraded.
- Use Claude API Status when logs show 429, 529, timeout, 500, 502, or 503 responses.
- Use Claude Code Status when CLI, IDE, MCP tools, authentication, or coding workflows fail.
- Use Claude Down only when the service appears unavailable, not just slow.
FAQ
What should I check first if Claude is not working?
Start with Claude Status for the current official component state. Then use Claude Slow for latency, Claude API Status for 429, 529, timeout, and 5xx errors, or Claude Code Status for CLI and IDE workflows.
Is AI Status Watch an official Claude status page?
No. AI Status Watch is independent. It summarizes official Claude status data and adds troubleshooting context, but the official source remains status.claude.com.
Why does Claude status say operational when Claude is slow?
A green status page can still leave model-specific latency, account limits, long prompts, Claude Code context, local network issues, or API overload symptoms. Use the slow and API pages to narrow the cause.
Where should developers check Anthropic API errors?
Use Claude API Status for 429 rate limits, 529 overloaded responses, timeouts, 500/503 errors, model-specific failures, request logs, and recent Claude API incidents.
Is Claude Code down or is it a local issue?
Check Claude Code Status first, then compare Claude API Status, recent incidents, 529 overloaded errors, login state, IDE extension state, and local network access.
