Anthropic API error checklist

Use this checklist when you see Anthropic API error responses, failed Claude API requests, elevated latency, or repeated timeouts in production logs.

  1. 429: check rate limits, quota, workspace limits, request bursts, and retry behavior.
  2. 500, 502, or 503: compare your logs with active and recent Claude API incidents.
  3. Timeouts: compare model choice, prompt size, streaming behavior, network route, and API latency.
  4. Authentication errors: verify API key, workspace, billing state, and model access.
  5. Claude Code failures: compare Claude Code status after checking the API component.

Claude API fails, but the web app may still work

API failures can come from service incidents, model availability, local request configuration, account limits, network routing, or authentication state.

  1. Check whether the Claude API component has an active or recent official incident.
  2. Compare your HTTP status code with the recent incident descriptions.
  3. Confirm the model name, API key, workspace, quota, and rate limit state.
  4. If requests are slow but not failing, compare the Claude slow page with your request logs.
  5. If Claude Code also fails, check Claude Code status after checking the API component.
  6. Avoid changing production retry or fallback logic until you know whether the issue is service-side or account-side.

FAQ

Why am I seeing an Anthropic API error?

Anthropic API errors can come from a service incident, elevated 5xx errors, timeouts, rate limits, invalid API keys, model availability, quota, network routing, or request configuration.

Where can I check Claude API status?

Use this page to check the official Claude API component, recent Anthropic incidents, active outages, and whether your API symptoms match a service-side issue.

Is Claude API down right now?

The current answer is shown at the top of this page. If the Claude API component or a related incident is degraded, API requests may fail, time out, or return elevated errors.

Can Claude API be down while Claude.ai works?

Yes. Claude.ai, Claude API, Claude Code, and Console can have separate incidents, so the web app may work while developer API requests fail.

Are 429 errors a Claude API outage?

Usually no. 429 errors normally mean rate limits or quota pressure unless the official Claude API component also shows an incident or many users report elevated errors.

Why is the Anthropic API timing out?

Timeouts can be caused by API-side latency, model congestion, long prompts, network routing, retries, or a recent incident. Compare status, request logs, model choice, and timeout settings.

Does Claude Code depend on Claude API status?

Claude Code can be affected by API-side model availability, authentication, and upstream Anthropic service incidents, so check API status when Claude Code commands fail.

What should I check before changing production code?

Compare the official API component, recent incidents, response status codes, model name, request logs, API key, account limits, retry policy, and network route.
