What happened
Anthropic's Claude status page (status.claude.com) shows an outage on November 13, 2026. The story, which rose to the top of Hacker News under the title "Claude Is Down," points to users having trouble reaching Claude.
Details are limited
The available source consists only of a link to the status page and a headline. It is not yet possible to verify which services (claude.ai, Claude Code, the API) are affected, when the outage began, or how long it lasted.
Why it matters
Claude is widely used by both individuals and businesses. Even short outages can disrupt coding, document work and automated workflows. Since Anthropic has recently expanded Claude into office tools and agent services, the impact could reach a broader user base.
What to do
While the outage continues, following the official status page and moving critical work to alternative tools is the most practical approach. Anthropic is expected to publish an update in the coming hours.
