Claude Code Down, Status Page Silent
Developers reported Claude Code login failures, OAuth reauthorization errors, and 500s while Anthropic’s status page stayed green. The signals point to an auth-layer outage affecting the coding CLI more than the underlying model service.
// ANALYSIS
The ugly part here is not just the downtime, it’s the mismatch between user reports and official telemetry. For an agentic coding tool, broken login is effectively total outage because it blocks both human workflow and automation.
- –Reports cluster around OAuth, reauthorization, and timeout failures, which suggests the auth/session path is the fault line
- –Anthropic’s status page showing all systems operational makes troubleshooting harder and weakens trust
- –Claude Code is a workflow dependency, so even a partial outage can stop shipping for teams using it in the terminal
- –This is a reminder that AI devtools need resilient fallback auth and clear incident communication, not just strong model quality
