Anthropic’s AI platform Claude is currently experiencing service disruption on March 3, with elevated errors reported across multiple services.

According to the official incident report, the issue is affecting:

• 
  

  claude.ai (web interface)

  
  


• 
  

  platform.claude.com (formerly console.anthropic.com)

  
  


• 
  

  Claude Code

  
  


• 
  

  cowork and platform services

  
  

The company marked the issue as “Investigating” at 03:15 UTC, stating: “We are currently investigating this issue.” Subsequent updates at 04:39 UTC, 04:41 UTC and 04:43 UTC confirmed that the investigation is ongoing.

Why is Claude down?

As of now, Anthropic has not disclosed a specific root cause. The status page indicates “elevated errors,” which typically means users are encountering failed requests, login problems, timeouts or service instability rather than a complete system shutdown.

Importantly, no official confirmation has yet been provided regarding API-level disruption. The current notice primarily highlights issues affecting the web app, platform dashboard and Claude Code services.

What services are impacted?

Based on the incident details, the following are affected:

• 
  

  Users accessing Claude through the claude.ai web interface

  
  


• 
  

  Developers using the platform dashboard

  
  


• 
  

  Those working within Claude Code

  
  


• 
  

  Associated collaborative (cowork) features

  
  

The outage is ongoing, and no estimated resolution time has been announced.

Part of a turbulent week

Today’s disruption follows multiple partial outages recorded over the past week, including significant incidents on February 25, 26, 27, 28 and March 2. With only March 1 showing no downtime, Claude has experienced recurring instability across six of the past seven days.

As demand for generative AI platforms continues to grow, repeated elevated error incidents raise questions about infrastructure resilience and load management.
