About Claude

AIWatch Data: Claude's reported uptime is 99.39%. Based on AIWatch data from the last 30 days, it experienced 47 incidents with an average recovery time of 1h 22m.

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.

This page provides real-time status, uptime history, and recent incident details — updated every 5 minutes by AIWatch.
