Workflow diagnosis
Claude Code issue map
Claude Code failures are not always full outages. Match the symptom to the likely path before changing your local setup or retrying large tasks.
Slow or worse
Long context, MCP tools, large repositories, API latency, or local terminal state.
API errors
429, 529, timeout, or 5xx errors may surface through Claude Code commands.
529 overloaded
Claude Code shows API Error 529, overloaded_error, retry loops, or temporary server-side overload.
Status green but slow
Official status can be operational while a local or model-specific workflow is degraded.
Connection error
Authentication, network route, account, or Anthropic service access may be failing.
Claude Code Component
Claude Code can have incidents separate from Claude.ai or API-wide model incidents, so it deserves its own status page.
| Component | Status | What it affects |

Claude Code is failing, but Claude.ai works
When Claude Code fails by itself, the issue is often tied to login, local CLI state, IDE extension version, network access, or an API-side incident.
- Check whether the Claude Code component has a recent official incident.
- If Claude Code shows 529 overloaded, compare the focused 529 page with recent Claude API and Claude Code incidents.
- If Claude Code is slow but still works, compare the Claude slow page with Claude API status and local CLI checks.
- Refresh your Claude login session and retry the command.
- Update the Claude Code CLI or IDE extension if a version-specific issue is listed.
- Confirm your local network can reach Anthropic services.
- If API and Claude Code incidents overlap, wait for the official incident to resolve before changing local configuration.
FAQ
Is Claude Code down right now?
Check the current Claude Code component status at the top of this page, then compare recent Claude Code incidents, Claude API status, and common 529 overloaded or 5xx errors before changing your local setup.
Can Claude Code be down while Claude.ai is working?
Yes. Claude Code has its own component on the official status page and can experience separate outages or degraded performance.
Why does Claude Code fail when the web app works?
Claude Code depends on local CLI state, IDE integration, login, network access, and upstream Anthropic services. Any of those can fail while Claude.ai still loads.
Does a Claude API outage affect Claude Code?
It can. Claude Code may depend on Anthropic services that overlap with the Claude API, account login, or model availability.
Should I update Claude Code during an outage?
Only update if the issue looks local or version-specific. If the official Claude Code or API component is degraded, wait for recovery before changing your setup.
What should I check before assuming Claude Code is down?
Check your login session, CLI version, IDE extension, network access, and whether the official Claude Code component has a recent incident.
Can rate limits look like a Claude Code outage?
Yes. Rate limits, model availability, invalid credentials, or API account issues can interrupt Claude Code even when the broader service is operational.
Why is Claude Code slow even when Claude status is operational?
Claude Code can be slow because of long context, large repositories, MCP tools, terminal state, local network issues, API latency, or usage limits even when official Claude status is operational.
