Ask HN: Is Claude down Again?
Getting "overloaded_error" errors for the last 15 minutes. Is anyone else having the same issue? Claude goes down every day, even if only intermittently. I think the total downtime is reaching the level of hours. It would be good if they clarified whether this is an inability to scale under heavy demand or a side effect of GenAI assisted development. Yesterday and today was both for Opus 4.6, their heaviest model. So I think it's load related. Unfounded speculation but it's curious that it's soon after enabling 1M context tokens on the default plan.
I wonder if there are some long-tail load ramifications of this pricing change. Looks like, yeah... there is now a warning on the status page https://status.claude.com/incidents/0dvq4gvy5f5f There are no details about the cause of the error, but it has been happening more often since they doubled the tokens until March 27 It feels like it's always down, nothing seems to work when Claude is down
