Claude is currently showing the active issue as a ‘Major Outage’ stemming from those elevated errors across the AI assistant for April 7, 2026.
There is some potentially good news: Down Detector reports are dropping from over 3,000 to 1,769 as of the last update at 11:01 AM ET.
We’re still waiting for a further update from Anthropic on the status page, which you can see here.

Anthropic confirms ‘elevated errors’ again
Like clockwork, Anthropic has just updated the Claude Status page to confirm an active issue. And it’s the same issue that hit the AI chatbot yesterday – ‘elevated errors on Claude.ai.” It’s impacting logins, using voice mode, and with standard Claude chats.
It’s certainly frustrating for folks who rely on Claude, so let us know in the comments if you’re impacted by this issue. Here’s the full statement from Anthropic that was posted at 10:32 AM ET as well:
“Identified – We have identified an issue resulting in elevated errors on Claude.ai, including desktop and mobile. Users may experience errors when attempting to login, engaging with voice mode, or completing chats with Claude. We are working to resolve this issue as soon as possible.”

As of 12:44 PM ET, Claude says a fix has been sorted and applied, which should mean the service continues to recover. Meaning that if you’re still having issues signing in or talking with Claude, it should return to normal operation soon.
The update reads, “Monitoring – We have applied a fix, and are seeing success rates recover across affected services. We are continuing to monitor to ensure there is no recurrence of issues.”
My colleague Lance is reporting that Claude is again operational, and mine – albeit taking a longer beat – is returning with answers.
Some good news, Anthropic updated Claude’s status page at 12:17 PM ET to say: “Update – We are continuing to work on a fix for this issue.”
That’s excellent and likely means that the elevated errors causing sign-in issues, as well as voice and chat slowdowns with Claude, should be fixed in the near future.
Reports are dropping on Down Detector
While Anthropic has not yet said anything beyond investigating the issue, reports on Down Detector are starting to drop. Let us know if Claude is responding in the comments below.
