Claude Code Outage Brings Development to a Standstill

Anthropic’s Claude AI models are currently experiencing a major outage, causing developers to encounter a 500 error when attempting to use Claude Code. The company has confirmed that the issue is widespread and affects all of its Claude models. In an effort to mitigate the problem, Anthropic is working diligently to identify and resolve the underlying cause. The recent outage is the latest in a string of issues faced by the AI development platform. Earlier this week, Anthropic experienced technical difficulties with its purchasing system for AI credits. Additionally, users reported errors with Claude Opus 4.5, highlighting the importance of robust testing and quality control measures.
