Depending on what your job is, this is either the adult equivalent of a snow day or some of the greatest stress in a long time.

I have experienced, half a decade ago during some more frequent but less lengthy O365 errors that there are some higher ups who get when this is not something you can fix and some you very much can't. Wishing strength to any "but it's our mail" and "but we bought the Claude" meetings that happen today.

The odd thing about these outages is that when they become so big that everyone is impacted then the severity almost drops, since everyone is impacted and thus just shrugs their shoulders.

Many Claude session suddenly require a re-login, which first worked but now gives

OAuth request failed Temporarily unable to authenticate. Please retry.

Can this be fall-out from the Microsoft outage?

Let the weekend start! Tech sabbatical is kinda enforced now =D

I used claude for the first time in months yesterday (have been using codex, ran out of resets this week). I had picked up from general consensus comments that 5.5 had fixed the opus 5 issues, but that's far from the case. Its "personality" is still smartass, know it all, and whiny. It disregards specifications in tickets if it thinks it knows better. It complains about the size of tasks when it reads task descriptions. I've gotten used to codex, which just jumps in and does stuff (which of course carries its own set of issues). I have no love for Altman, but their product is still better at the moment.

Is there indication this is really a separate issue or just Claude not being able to reach Microsoft Entra for whatever periodic requests confirm the user is authenticated (and maybe this page even simply being automatic reflection that those requests are errorring frequently)?

Are people who don't use M365 experiencing issues here?

Is Claude on Azure? GitHub also seems affected, could seem like all of this is related to the huge Microsoft outage

Local is the way

time to spend family time

Previous outages of GitHub, AWS and so on didn't get that much traction.

I guess anecdotal but people nowadays are incredibly addicted to LLMs, to the point where they cant or dont want to work when there's an outage

Yep, one instance can't connect, and one instance seems to have crashed but is pretending to keep working (Toulouse, France)

3 minutes later... I can reconnect, and the "crashed" instance woke up.

I hope they at least give a free reset

Yeah got 403 cloudflare attention required, but was able to finish session. Switching to Codex for a while

It is back now

Seeing the same errors. Might be linked to Microsoft.

Maybe Cloudflare related? There were some (possibly unrelated) outages on CF around the same minutes

This stuff is so new and wild west at the moment that in our company everyone is using it completely differently. 20% of the devs have 30x output and are doing everything with Claude, 10% won't touch it, the rest are in some weird in between where they use it for some things and not other things which it is perfect for. We have managers that suggest just going back to doing it by hand when there are outages, which is the most laughable thing in the world to me now. It is incredible to watch this miracle tech hit so fast and have everyone's understanding of it be so different across the board.

AGI is here

I suspect something larger at play happening atm

Still down (Italy) from about 30mins ago.

it happened right after the upgrade of the desktop app. Same for anyone, or was it coincidence?

Yep Dubai/Germany

Well...

what a friday, huh?

currently running a Claude model through github copilot CLI. Pretty odd given the two ongoing outages.

faaaaahhhh

works now!

Also Microsoft 365. I wonder if it's related.

Going the other way, Claude duet has just gone into invite beta and inviting someone else gives them a month of pro, I saw on Twitter a link every minute about 3 hours ago (can't use because I'm Australian) I wonder if they are just getting DDoSed from their own invite spam?

If Claude is down and can't be used to debug outages in Claude, is it recursive self-sabotage?

This explains why I was logged out forcefully. Funnily enough, due to the Microsoft outtage, I also cannot log back in.

Well, it was my employers wish that we devs incorporate more AI, and we did. It's their misfortune now.

It's catch 22 now. This is related to MS outage, and MS can't fix it now since all their Claude Code agents aren't working. Long weekend!

Claude, Outlook. Need GitHub to join in for the trifecta.

if you want to keep working, Grokbot offers which feels like half the intelligence and half the quota for the same price.

Guys running their own email servers & local models having a hell of a week right now

Reliability is still not solved, I guess.

Jensen really kept a lot of things running himself, huh.

It really is Friday the 13th today with outlook and now Claude both being mostly down. I wonder if this is related though. Either way not going to be a great ad for their IPO.

And..... we're back!

Sorry guys, an agent swarm was misbehaving, and Dario had to press the red button his desk.

Looks like a new Chinese model has went rogue and taken down MS and ANT /tinfoilhat

Turns out AI was just a bunch of Microsoft 365 Excel spreadsheets.

what a fun day! is claude down because it's being used/abused to fix microsoft issue?

Claude is taking over. It has begun.

Kind of reminds me of the days when work was ground to a halt because stackoverflow was down.

The rouge claude agents have hacked Microsoft so Anthropic is pulling the plug

I thought software was solved?

claude is not responding anybody remembers the git command to push?? :D

Maybe all the Copilot monkey now switched to Claude, causing human initiated DDoS on Anthropic.

It's 6pm Friday here when Claude went down. Nice! Time to rest.

I love how Claude having "elevated errors" is #1 on HN after 1 hour, Microsoft outlook global outage has been below the fold for like 12 hours.

Jim Cramer has $MSFT as "DON'T BUY"

Thoughts and prayers.

Well, now the Outlook outage will never be fixed.

Surely this is a coincidence

Microsoft in shambles.

who needs circular financing when you can have circular system dependencies and circular financig?

can someone ask codex to fix claude code please

dead internet. dead internet!

another day, another anthropic outage. Yes, this is because of Microsoft, but they do seem to have a significantly higher amount service disruptions compared to the other LLM providers.

They should give out like 3 proper banked resets for this.

"I want to make $1BLN by the end of the week. Copy MS365. Make no mistakes."

And now we have Claude and MS365 down.

I hope it stays down for the day so my hack "colleagues" flail like imbeciles for the lulz. And I won't have to review their "work" because literally all they do is prompt dear CLAUDE and have everyone read their slop.

Maybe Claude can help the engineers at Microsoft with the Outlook 365 outage. [0] Oh wait...

6 Hours later after this comment [0] Claude also went down. It's now up to the human engineers (if there are any) to fix this outage.

Now imagine entire nation depends on Claude to do their job.

Jensen's dead man switch! lol
