About Claude Code

AIWatch Data: Based on AIWatch data from the last 30 days, Claude Code experienced 36 incidents with an average recovery time of 1h 15m. 30-day uptime: 99.00%.

Claude Code is Anthropic's official CLI tool for AI-powered coding. It runs in the terminal, 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. An incident on Claude API will also affect Claude Code since it relies on the same backend models. 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 in their terminal. Code generation, file editing, command execution, and codebase Q&A features will be unavailable. Consider using an alternative coding agent until the service recovers.
