\nThe outage is officially “resolved”<\/p>\n

Anthropic has now confirmed<\/a> that today’s Claude outage has been “resolved”. There was no official explanation given for the “increased error rates” \u2014 read, massive wobble \u2014 seen around the world. But after two Claude outages this month, let’s hope it’s the last one we see for a while.<\/p>\n

I’m starting to feel like one of the last people who still has Claude issues, as Downdetector is showing a significant drop in reported issues \u2014 and it’s now back for many others here at TechRadar.<\/p>\n

That fix that Anthropic pushed out almost exactly an hour ago is seemingly doing the trick. And just as a I type, Claude has sprung back into life for me, albeit with a slight delay in its responses. It looks like this one’s almost over, folks…<\/p>\n

\nClaude is still struggling for many<\/p>\n

While the number of reported Claude issues on Downdetector is dropping \u2014 in the US, they’re now at about the half the peak from an hour ago \u2014 thousands are still struggling to get it working, including many of us at TechRadar.<\/p>\n

For me, there are some signs of life \u2014 rather than completely blanking my prompt or giving me a “this model isn’t available right now” error message, Claude is now ‘thinking’ when I ask it something.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

But that thinking time still ultimately goes nowhere, which suggests Anthropic’s fix still isn’t fully working \u2014 and the company indeed says that it’s still “continuing to monitor for any further issues”.<\/p>\n

\nBigger than the last outage<\/p>\n

We don’t have to look back too far for the last significant Claude outage \u2014 that was just three weeks ago on June 2. But this one is definitely bigger.<\/p>\n

Those previous issues were related to its latest Opus 4.6 model, but this outage is across all models and all Claude platforms \u2014 except for those fortunate to be on Claude for Government.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I don’t know about you, but this feels like a good opportunity to check out the latest Prime Day deals in the US <\/a>and UK’s best Prime Day deals<\/a>, too. Forgive me the plug, but a cut-price Ninja Slushi is looking very tempting right now while I wait for Claude to reboot…<\/p>\n

\nWe’re well over the hour mark<\/p>\n

\n

Claude is still very much down for me and thousands of others \u2014 and it’s now well over an hour since the problems started at around 10.53am ET \/ 2.53pm BST.<\/p>\n

The latest from Anthropic’s status page<\/a> is still that “a fix has been implemented and we are monitoring the results’. So far that hasn’t been reflected in the numbers, but in theory we should see an improvement pretty soon.<\/p>\n

\nSeeking solace in memes
\nSome Claude models are down, and I hope you aren\u2019t too<\/a> from r\/ClaudeAI<\/a><\/p>\n

As the Claude issues continue for many, Reddit is responding the only way it knows how \u2014 with comforting memes.<\/p>\n

The could be promising news on the horizon, though \u2014 Anthropic’s latest post on the Claude Status page (at 10.53am ET \/ 3.53pm BST) says that “a fix has been implemented and we are monitoring the results”.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

That often means a swift improvement, but can also be a false dawn, so I’m keeping a close eye on my account in the hope that it’ll be the former.<\/p>\n

\nThis looks more worrying<\/p>\n

\n

While reports of Claude issues on Downdetector have dropped slightly in the last half an hour, they’re still very high \u2014 and Anthropic’s status page (above) is showing a “major outage” across all of its platforms, except Claude for Government.<\/p>\n

That means Claude’s chat interface, Claude Code, Claude Cowork and its API are all having issues right now, which makes this is a pretty broad outage affecting many.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\nIs the fix working?<\/p>\n

\n

It’s early days, but today’s reported Claude issues have just taken a small dip on Downdetector<\/a> \u2014 they’re still high at over 6,000 in the US at the time of writing, but that’s down from a high of 7,119 just over half an hour ago.<\/p>\n

Hopefully, that’s the work of Anthropic’s engineers, with the latest post in Claude’s Status page stating that “the issue has been identified and a fix is being implemented”.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

It still isn’t working for me, but the signs are promising that it’ll spring back into life soon…<\/p>\n

\nProblems across all models<\/p>\n

Today’s Claude issues aren’t restricted to just one model unfortunately \u2014 we’re seeing issues across all models, and on both paid and free accounts.<\/p>\n

Right now, Claude is either “contemplating” its answers indefinitely or telling us “this model isn’t available right now”. According to Downdetector, the issue is also affecting both the chat interface and Claude Code.<\/p>\n

\nLots of red is never a good sign<\/p>\n

This is the current situation on Anthropic’s Status Page for Claude \u2014 there’s good and bad news.<\/p>\n

While there are indeed “elevated error rates” across “multiple models” on Claude, as I’ve also experienced, it seems the company has already got a fix in the pipeline.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Let’s hope that means it gets resolved as quickly as the last outage we saw on June 2…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Refresh 2026-06-23T19:48:59.799Z The outage is officially “resolved” Anthropic has now confirmed that today’s Claude outage has been “resolved”.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":466748,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[20],"tags":[554,733,4308,86,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-654701","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-artificial-intelligence","tag-ai","tag-artificial-intelligence","tag-artificialintelligence","tag-technology","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/654701","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=654701"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/654701\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/466748"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=654701"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=654701"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=654701"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
