About Claude Code
AIWatch Data: Claude Code's reported uptime is 99.57%. Based on AIWatch data from the last 30 days, it experienced 9 incidents with an average recovery time of 1h 29m.
Claude Code is Anthropic's coding agent. It understands entire codebases and can edit files, run commands, and manage git workflows autonomously using Claude models.
AIWatch Insight: Claude Code shares Anthropic's status page with Claude API and claude.ai. When evaluating Claude Code reliability, check both the Claude Code status and the Claude API status on AIWatch.
When Claude Code is down, developers cannot use AI-assisted coding. Code generation, file editing, command execution, and codebase Q&A features will be unavailable. Consider using an alternative coding agent until the service recovers.
This page provides real-time status and recent incident details; uptime history is shown only when the official source publishes sufficient comparable records — updated every 5 minutes by AIWatch.

Based on current AIWatch data, Windsurf (Score: 100) and Junie (Score: 96) are the most reliable alternatives right now. When Claude Code is down, GitHub Copilot, Cursor, or Windsurf are alternative AI coding tools. AIWatch shows which are currently operational.
Is Claude Code down because of Claude API?
Not always — enterprise deployments can route inference through a cloud provider instead. Check the AIWatch dashboard at ai-watch.dev to see if Claude API is also experiencing issues — they often share the same incidents.
