Depending on what your job is, this is either the adult equivalent of a snow day or some of the greatest stress in a long time.
I have experienced, half a decade ago during some more frequent but less lengthy O365 errors that there are some higher ups who get when this is not something you can fix and some you very much can't. Wishing strength to any "but it's our mail" and "but we bought the Claude" meetings that happen today.

The odd thing about these outages is that when they become so big that everyone is impacted then the severity almost drops, since everyone is impacted and thus just shrugs their shoulders.

Many Claude session suddenly require a re-login, which first worked but now gives
OAuth request failed
Temporarily unable to authenticate. Please retry.
Can this be fall-out from the Microsoft outage?

Notably this brought MCPs down, which they call Connectors on the status page. Which impacts business customers using claude to access SaaS apps, not just coders.
Reminds me of when we built Facebook apps and were at the whim of the platform.

Is there indication this is really a separate issue or just Claude not being able to reach Microsoft Entra for whatever periodic requests confirm the user is authenticated (and maybe this page even simply being automatic reflection that those requests are errorring frequently)?
Are people who don't use M365 experiencing issues here?

By "elevated errors", do they mean the system returns an error code, or the AI makes more mistakes?

Previous outages of GitHub, AWS and so on didn't get that much traction.
I guess anecdotal but people nowadays are incredibly addicted to LLMs, to the point where they cant or dont want to work when there's an outage

Yep, one instance can't connect, and one instance seems to have crashed but is pretending to keep working (Toulouse, France)

Apparently it was resolved in 2 hours.
That seems faster than usual, compare to Outlook (down for a day) and GitHub. It's still embarrassing for a heavily-relied service, but better, and I wonder if Claude (or another LLM) helped diagnose and fix the outage?

Seeing the same errors. Might be linked to Microsoft.
I was using Claude Code Friday morning, and I wanted to know what the issue was and how I might have been effected
I do not know, after reading their notice
All the more reason to hurry up our move away from Anthropic.
Claude Code is good. But if when it has problems it issues notices like this, being good is not enough
If they expect to be as valuable as they seem to feel entitled to, they must do better
What a shame

This stuff is so new and wild west at the moment that in our company everyone is using it completely differently. 20% of the devs have 30x output and are doing everything with Claude, 10% won't touch it, the rest are in some weird in between where they use it for some things and not other things which it is perfect for. We have managers that suggest just going back to doing it by hand when there are outages, which is the most laughable thing in the world to me now. It is incredible to watch this miracle tech hit so fast and have everyone's understanding of it be so different across the board.

I used claude for the first time in months yesterday (have been using codex, ran out of resets this week). I had picked up from general consensus comments that 5.5 had fixed the opus 5 issues, but that's far from the case. Its "personality" is still smartass, know it all, and whiny. It disregards specifications in tickets if it thinks it knows better. It complains about the size of tasks when it reads task descriptions. I've gotten used to codex, which just jumps in and does stuff (which of course carries its own set of issues). I have no love for Altman, but their product is still better at the moment.
If Claude is down and can't be used to debug outages in Claude, is it recursive self-sabotage?
netdevphoenix
And this company, about to start its IPO, wants to make the majority of the world's office workforce dependent on them when they can't even handle their current load.

This explains why I was logged out forcefully.
Funnily enough, due to the Microsoft outtage, I also cannot log back in.
Well, it was my employers wish that we devs incorporate more AI, and we did. It's their misfortune now.

It's catch 22 now. This is related to MS outage, and MS can't fix it now since all their Claude Code agents aren't working. Long weekend!

Going the other way, Claude duet has just gone into invite beta, people get 3 invites and inviting someone else gives them a month of pro, I saw on Twitter a link every minute about 3 hours ago (can't use because I'm Australian) I wonder if they are just getting DDoSed from their own invite spam?

They will reduce the frequency of these transient errors if the IPO price goes back to $2T from $1T. Or else...
