Is Claude down?
Claude looks healthy. The official status page reports all systems operational and our independent checks are passing.
Claudedown detector & server status
Is Claude down or not working right now? This live Claude down detector combines Anthropic's official status feed, our own independent checks, and first-party user reports — and shows whether it's the ClaudeAPI, the app, or a specific capability that's affected, plus the upstream AI provider it depends on. Use it to tell whether Claudeis having an outage today, and whether it's down for everyone or just you.
Crowd signal — your reports, not our automated checks.
How we know
We combine independent signals into one verdict. Here's what each source is reporting right now.

12,993reachable checks. The line plots the median of each interval, so one timeout can't spike it, and we lead with the median rather than an average, which a single slow response would skew. Failed checks are excluded: a timeout is not a response time.
Responding normally (~303 ms typical).
Uptime & history
Tracking since Jun 22, 2026% of our checks that found Claude fully operational — a degraded check counts against it, because a slow or partly-broken service is not a working one. Down and degraded time are counted at our 5-minute check resolution, so both are approximate. Longer windows fill in as data accrues — we never show uptime we haven't measured.

Recent incidents
No recent incidents reported on Claude's official status page. Historical incident tracking begins once our database is live — for now, see the official status page.
What this page can and can't tell you
- How we decide. We combine Anthropic's official status feed, our own independent check from US East (Virginia), and first-party reports from readers. The confidence badge shows how many of those signals agree.
- On root cause. We have no visibility inside Anthropic's systems. When our dependency graph points upstream, at Anthropic, we say so. Otherwise we report what the signals show rather than guessing at an internal cause.
- Outages are rarely all-or-nothing. Some are regional. Some hit one surface while the rest works, so the Claude API can fail while the app is fine. The capability panel breaks it down.
- Green doesn't mean everyone. If our check reaches Claudebut you can't, the problem is more likely local: your network, a VPN, browser extensions, or cache.
Frequently asked
Is Claude down right now?+
Right now, Claude appears to be operational. Claude looks healthy. The official status page reports all systems operational and our independent checks are passing.
Is there a Claude down detector?+
Yes — this page is a live Claude down detector. It combines Claude's official status feed, our own independent reachability check, first-party user reports, and the AI dependency graph, then shows a confidence level so you can tell a real outage from a local glitch. Claude is currently operational. We only show signals we can actually verify — never invented report totals.
Is there a Claude outage today?+
No active Claude outage is detected right now — it appears operational. For past incidents and dated outage recaps, see Claude's status history below.
What is Claude's server status and API status right now?+
Claude is currently operational. Server status and API status aren't always the same — the Claude API can fail while the web app works, or vice-versa. The capability panel on this page breaks status down by surface (API, app, and any image/voice features) so you can see exactly which part is affected. Claude depends on Anthropic, so an incident there can cascade to Claude and other AI tools at the same time.
Is the Claude API down? (Anthropic API status)+
Check the API row in the capability panel above — Claude is currently operational overall, but the API can carry its own status. For developers, "Anthropic API status" problems usually surface here first, because we read Anthropic's own status feed and watch the API surface directly. Claude depends on Anthropic, so an incident there can cascade to Claude and other AI tools at the same time.
Why is Claude slow or not working?+
Common causes are an upstream provider incident, API rate limits during peak demand, a regional CDN issue, or maintenance. Claude is currently operational. We show the official status, our independent check, and a confidence level so you can see which signals point to a real problem. Claude depends on Anthropic, so an incident there can cascade to Claude and other AI tools at the same time.
Is Claude down for everyone or just me?+
We check Claude from our own servers, independent of your device or network, and combine that with Anthropic's official feed and user reports. If our independent check reaches Claude but you can't, the problem is most likely local — try a different network, disable a VPN/extensions, or clear your cache. If our check and the official status both show problems, Claude is down for everyone.
How can I tell if it's Claude or my own connection?+
AIDownCheck runs an independent reachability check from our own servers, separate from Claude's official status page. If our check passes but you still can't connect, the problem is more likely local — try a different network, clear your cookies, disable VPN/extensions, or use a different browser. If our check is failing too, it's more likely Claude's side.
What can I use while Claude is down?+
Good alternatives include ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity. We track their live status too, so you can switch to one that's currently operational.
Where is Claude's official status page?+
Claude's official status page is at https://status.anthropic.com. AIDownCheck reads it automatically and combines it with our own checks — so you get the answer without juggling tabs.
