Anthropic Claude down: Why it said it was unable to authenticate code

Anthropic said on its official Claude Status page that it is investigating an issue with users authenticating to Claude.ai and Claude Code, with some users reporting login trouble on X. The Claude outage follows a massive, still-unresolved outage affecting multiple Microsoft services, though Anthropic did not say whether the two incidents are related. Anthropic said it will provide an update as soon as possible.

"We are investigating an issue with users authenticating to Claude.ai and Claude Code. We will provide an update as soon as possible," wrote Anthropic on the company's official Claude Status page.
