Latest News About Claude Ai Down?

Updated 2026-04-15 19:03

Claude appears to be experiencing an active outage right now, with elevated errors affecting Claude.ai, the API, and Claude Code, and Anthropic says it has identified the issue and is implementing a fix.[3]

Current status

Anthropic’s status page shows the incident is unresolved as of Apr 15, 2026, with login still broken for some Claude Code users and the API already recovered. The latest update says the issue has been identified and a fix is being implemented.[3]

What’s affected

The outage is affecting Claude.ai, the API, and Claude Code, according to the status page. Anthropic specifically noted that some users can still use Claude Code if they are already logged in, but login remains broken.[3]

Recent context

Claude has had several disruptions recently, including a brief outage on Apr 13 that was resolved and another degradation on Apr 14 that was also resolved. In an earlier March outage, Anthropic said consumer-facing surfaces were down while business integrations remained unaffected.[1][4][6][3]

Practical takeaway

If you’re having trouble right now, it is likely a service-side issue rather than a problem on your device. For the moment, the safest expectation is partial recovery rather than full stability until Anthropic posts another update.[3]
