Some good news, Anthropic updated Claude’s status page at 12:17 PM ET to say: “Update – We are continuing to work on a fix for this issue.”

That’s excellent and likely means that the elevated errors causing sign-in issues, as well as voice and chat slowdowns with Claude, should be fixed in the near future.

As of 12:44 PM ET, Claude says a fix has been sorted and applied, which should mean the service continues to recover. Meaning that if you’re still having issues signing in or talking with Claude, it should return to normal operation soon.

The update reads, “Monitoring – We have applied a fix, and are seeing success rates recover across affected services. We are continuing to monitor to ensure there is no recurrence of issues.”
