Claude is Currently Experiencing a Global Outage
As of today, March 2, 2026, Anthropic's Claude is facing a widespread service disruption affecting the web interface, mobile apps, and some API methods.
What is happening?
• The Issue: Users are encountering "HTTP 500" and "529" errors, login/logout failures, and the message: “Claude will return soon. Claude is currently experiencing a temporary service disruption.”
• Scope: The outage is global, with significant reports coming from Europe, India, and Africa. While the core API was initially reported as functional, Anthropic later noted that some API methods are also failing.
• Status: Anthropic's engineering team identified the root cause around 13:22 UTC and is actively implementing a fix.
Some users are seeing a partial recovery, but service remains intermittent.
