Is Claude API down?
Live Claude API status from Anthropic: our own checks, the official status page and user reports.
How we know if Claude API is down
Every 1 minute LLM Live sends a real request to the Claude API and measures whether it answers, how long the first token takes and how fast text streams. Three failed checks in a row mark it as down. We also read Anthropic's official status page every minute. Every few minutes we pull OpenRouter's success rate for the newest models served by Anthropic's own API; when most of them start failing, the status changes. Spikes in user reports on this page raise a warning even before the provider confirms an incident.
Claude API not working but status is green?
Problems are sometimes limited to one region, account or feature. Try a hard refresh, sign out and in, check your network or VPN, and press “Claude API isn't working for me” above — if many people do the same, the status changes here first.
