Is this a Claude outage or a model access issue?

Fable 5 and Mythos 5 unavailable checklist
Use this checklist before assuming all Claude services are down.
- Check whether Anthropic has posted an official access suspension or model availability announcement.
- Check Claude Status for active incidents affecting Claude.ai, Claude API, Claude Code, or model routing.
- Test another Claude model in the same workspace to separate model-specific access from a full outage.
- Check whether the issue appears in Claude.ai, the API, Claude Code, or only one client.
- Confirm account, plan, workspace, region, and organization access permissions.
- For Claude Code, switch to an available model and retry read-only operations before changing local configuration.
- Record the exact error message, model name, timestamp, workspace, client, and whether another model works.
FAQ
Why is Claude Fable 5 or Mythos 5 unavailable?
Fable 5 or Mythos 5 access can be unavailable because of an official access suspension, model availability change, account or region restriction, model picker issue, or a related Claude service incident.
Is Fable 5 or Mythos 5 unavailable the same as Claude being down?
No. A model access suspension or model picker issue can affect one model while Claude.ai, Claude API, and Claude Code still work with other models.
What should I check before changing my workflow?
Check the official Claude status page, Anthropic announcements, recent incidents, account access, region or workspace restrictions, and whether another Claude model works for the same task.
Can Claude Code be affected by model availability?
Yes. Claude Code can fail or block workflows when a selected model, auto mode classifier, or model route is unavailable, even if read-only operations or other models still work.
