What UpButler measured

API edge is answeringHTTP 401 · 146 ms

One request without credentials to api.anthropic.com every two minutes, from eu-central (one location, not a global view). An answer (the expected "not authenticated") shows the edge, TLS and routing work. It does not prove that authenticated calls succeed. The probe is for Anthropic (Claude) as a whole, not for Claude Code specifically.

Tell your outage from Anthropic (Claude)'s

Declare that your project depends on Claude Code. When one of your monitors fails while Anthropic (Claude) has an incident that began around the same time, UpButler tags your incident "likely upstream" with their incident linked, says so in the alert and the AI report, and tells your on-call agent not to change code.

npx upbutler init finds the dependency from your env var names and packages. The catalog, dependencies and upstream-aware incidents are on every plan, including Free.

Questions

Is Claude Code down right now?
No. As of 2026-10-10 07:19 UTC, Claude Code is up. This page reads the status again every 60 seconds.
How long do Claude Code outages usually last?
Of the 3 incidents Anthropic (Claude) reported for Claude Code in the last 90 days, half were resolved within 19 min; the longest took 2 h 6 min. Incidents rated major or critical typically took 19 min. These are the provider's own start and end times.
Where does this status come from?
From Anthropic (Claude)'s own status page API at https://status.claude.com. UpButler reads it once for everyone (not once per visitor) every 60 seconds with conditional requests, and shows it unchanged: incident titles and component names are Anthropic (Claude)'s words. Their page covers more than this page shows; it is narrowed to the parts that concern Claude Code.
What does UpButler's own Anthropic (Claude) check prove?
Every two minutes UpButler sends one request without credentials to the Anthropic (Claude) API edge (api.anthropic.com) from eu-central. Any answer from the edge, usually HTTP 401, shows that DNS, TLS and routing work from there. It does not prove that authenticated requests succeed, and it is one location, not a global view. It is most useful when it fails before their status page changes; the page then says so.
Can I get an alert when Claude Code goes down?
Yes, without an account: enter your email on this page, confirm the link we send, and you get one email when Anthropic (Claude) reports an incident that affects Claude Code and one when it is over. There is also an RSS feed at https://upbutler.com/status/anthropic/feed.rss. Teams on UpButler can route the same alert to Slack, Teams or a webhook.
How can my agent or app check Claude Code status?
Fetch https://upbutler.com/status/anthropic/claude-code/status.agent.json: a small JSON document with a verdict (proceed, retry, fallback or pause) and retryAfterSec. No key is needed. The same answer is an MCP tool, upstream_status {"service":"anthropic","component":"claude-code"}, on https://upbutler.com/mcp/public.
How do I know whether an outage is mine or Anthropic (Claude)'s?
Add "anthropic" to the dependencies of your UpButler workspace. When one of your monitors fails while Anthropic (Claude) has an incident that began around the same time, your incident is tagged "likely upstream" with their incident linked, and your on-call agent is told not to change code.
