Is Claude down right now?
Claude appears to be working normally — report volume is within the typical range for this time of day. The last reported incident was 5 hours ago.
Is Claude down for everyone or just me?
Right now down.now isn't seeing a broad Claude outage, so the problem is most likely local to you — your connection, your device, or the app itself. Try the app on mobile data instead of Wi-Fi, then restart the router. If reports start arriving from other people, this page flips to an outage within minutes.
When was the last Claude outage?
The last recorded Claude incident was earlier today (2026-08-18) — the outage record below has the peak time, duration and what people reported.
How do I report a Claude problem?
Use the report panel on this page and pick what's not working — it takes one tap and no account. Reports are anonymous, and they feed the live signal on this page immediately.
How does down.now know if Claude is down?
Down.Now watches two crowd signals for Claude — anonymous reports submitted here, and public social-media posts about it — and compares the live volume against what's normal for that hour of the day. A sustained spike above that baseline opens an incident, which is usually visible before an official confirmation. We measure what users report, not Claude's servers directly.
