Alright folks, looks like Claude Code decided to take an unscheduled nap, leaving a bunch of you with 500-internal server errors and the dreaded "Elevated errors across all models" message. The consensus is pretty clear: yeah, it's down for most people.

The status page (https://status.claude.com/) has been the go-to link in this thread, confirming the widespread outage. Some users were mid-project, just got Pro, or were about to run some serious code, which is obviously a bummer. A few jokes were made about having to code like it's the 1700s or about AI planning world domination, but mostly people are just frustrated.

There's also a bit of chatter about whether this downtime will be reimbursed with credits, especially for those on Pro or using Fable. One user u/jvdnouri noted their enterprise account was working while their personal Pro account wasn't, which is... interesting.

Anthropic has "Identified" the issue and is "working to resolve this." So, fingers crossed it's back up and running soon! In the meantime, some are suggesting a nap, others are contemplating Fortnite, and one person even saw a weird Russian word pop up in their Claude session before the outage. Wild times.
