Anthropic suffered a worldwide service disruption that knocked Claude offline across its web interface and API-dependent services, causing failed prompts, slow responses, interrupted conversations, and widespread `529 Overloaded` errors. The incident affected multiple Claude models and began around 19:45 UTC, with Anthropic stating on its status page that it started investigating shortly afterward and had identified the issue by 20:33 UTC. Elevated error rates continued until about 21:26 UTC, and Anthropic later declared the incident resolved at 22:36 UTC after monitoring recovery across most models. The company did not disclose a root cause or estimated recovery details during the outage, but the error pattern pointed to temporary overload, backend capacity constraints, or related service issues that also disrupted tools and workflows built on the Claude API.

Anthropic's Claude platform suffered another service disruption that caused elevated `529 Overloaded` errors and partial outages across **claude.ai**, the **Claude API**, **Claude Code**, and **Claude Cowork**. Anthropic first reported the incident at 05:06 UTC and said it had identified the root cause by 05:27 UTC, but remediation was still in progress past 06:42 UTC with no full recovery confirmed. The disruption affected several major models, including **Claude Mythos 5**, **Claude Fable 5**, **Claude Opus 5**, and **Claude Opus 4.8**, disrupting enterprise and developer access to production AI workflows. Anthropic said **Claude Console** and **Claude for Government** were not affected, while reporting around the incident pointed to a broader pattern of recurring Claude instability and capacity-related service issues during 2026.

Anthropic’s **Claude** platform suffered a widespread service disruption that affected users globally across the web app, mobile clients, and **Claude Code**, with reports of elevated errors, long response delays, hung sessions, and failed requests involving models such as `Opus 4.6` and `Sonnet 4.6`. User complaints rose sharply after the incident began around 0600 UTC, and Anthropic’s status page moved from reporting a partial outage to saying a fix had been implemented before later marking systems operational, though some customers continued to report intermittent problems after remediation. Separately, a security researcher disclosed a **critical supply-chain vulnerability** in Anthropic’s official **Claude Code GitHub Actions** workflow that could have allowed an unauthenticated attacker to compromise repositories using it, including Anthropic’s own. The flaw stemmed from write-permission checks that trusted any GitHub actor whose name ended with `[bot]`, enabling a malicious GitHub App bot to bypass restrictions and, when chained with prompt injection, potentially exfiltrate secrets, steal GitHub Actions `OIDC` credentials, obtain a privileged Claude GitHub App token, and push malicious code downstream; Anthropic said it patched the issues in `v1.0.94` with stronger actor validation and additional workflow hardening.
