Anthropic Claude Outage Disrupts Thousands
The Anthropic Claude outage caused major disruption on Monday morning. Thousands of users reported login problems across Claude services. Many people could not access Claude.ai. Others faced issues with Claude Code. However, the company confirmed that the API continued to work normally.
According to Anthropic’s status page, the problem affected login and logout systems. As a result, users saw repeated access errors. The company said it identified the issue and started implementing a fix. Still, it has not shared the root cause.
Surge in Popularity Adds Pressure
The outage comes at a critical time for the company. Recently, Claude gained massive attention online. In fact, the app climbed to the top of the App Store charts. It even surpassed ChatGPT after staying outside the top 20 for months. Therefore, the sudden spike in traffic may have increased system strain. Political tensions also surround Anthropic.
Last week, Donald Trump told federal agencies to stop using its products.
The decision followed a dispute over AI safeguards. In addition, Pete Hegseth warned he could label the company a supply chain threat. However, Anthropic says it has not received formal notice. For now, users await a full resolution. The company continues to monitor systems closely. Meanwhile, the tech community watches how this outage impacts trust and adoption.
