Anthropic’s Claude hit by repeated partial outages: Service disruptions reported on 6 of last 7 days, including today

Anthropic’s AI platform Claude has experienced an unusually turbulent week, recording service disruptions on six of the past seven days, according to its public status history.

As of March 3, Claude is currently facing elevated errors affecting claude.ai, cowork, platform services and Claude Code. The issue has been marked as “Investigating,” with no downtime duration yet specified as the disruption remains ongoing.

A review of the past week’s status data shows the following pattern:

The frequency and duration of disruptions over the past week highlight a period of sustained instability for the platform. Multiple flagship models — including Opus 4.6, Sonnet 4.6 and Haiku 4.5 — have been affected, along with core web access, console services, desktop login functionality and usage reporting systems.

The pattern suggests that the disruptions have not been limited to a single component but have impacted various layers of the Claude ecosystem.

With only March 1 recording zero downtime, Claude has effectively faced service instability on six of seven consecutive days.

Anthropic has not yet released a comprehensive technical explanation covering the cluster of outages over this period. As of March 3, investigation into the latest elevated errors is ongoing.

Further updates are awaited.
