About Claude
AIWatch Data: Claude's reported uptime is 99.56%. Based on AIWatch data from the last 30 days, it experienced 40 incidents with an average recovery time of 2h 48m.
Claude is a large language model API developed by Anthropic. It powers applications ranging from chatbots to code generation tools, offering multiple model tiers for different performance and cost trade-offs.
AIWatch Insight: Unlike other providers, Anthropic reports incidents per model tier, resulting in higher incident counts compared to competitors. This does not necessarily indicate lower reliability — it reflects more granular reporting. When evaluating Claude API stability, focus on uptime percentage and recovery time rather than raw incident count.
When Claude API is down, developers may experience API request failures, increased latency, or model unavailability. Applications built on the Claude API will be unable to generate responses.
