Claude is down, or at least it was.

Anthropic’s most recent update on the outage is from about 10:25AM ET, saying “The issue has been identified and a fix is being implemented,” but that’s all we have for now, other than a dropping number of reports noted by Down Detector.

Of course, its own status dashboard shows this is a pretty common occurrence.
