Claude Was Down

So is appsignal, z.ai api, notion. seems like something big happened.

Rate exceeded.

This necessitated a post?

And oddly code bases will likely improve in quality given Claude’s recent performance.

It’s like having a vindictive drunken monkey as a pair programmer.

They might want to try codex.

503 upstream connect error or disconnect/reset before headers. reset reason: remote connection failure, transport failure reason: delayed connect error: Connection refused

yikes. just started working on an idea.

I’ve been following Claude’s status updates for a while, and it’s actually refreshing to see this kind of transparency. Most companies just hide issues behind vague “technical difficulties” messages, but here you can clearly track uptime and incidents. It gives a lot more confidence when using the service daily, especially since many of us depend on it for real work. Downtime is frustrating, but knowing what’s happening makes a huge difference. I wish more AI and SaaS tools had a page like this—it feels more trustworthy and professional.

Totally borked right now. Time to have another look at claude-code-router.

why don't they hire ppl to fix all this. crazy that companies with billions of dollars in investments are hiring so little.

hypothesis: claude pushed vibe coded api router to prod

Feels like the good old days of fail whale

This is likely due to the Claude Builder Club[0] free pro account access codes being sent out to students - as I have just received mine.

edit: it's back up for me now

Took them an hour to fix it, good job!

AGI is paused today.
