Looks like Claude is down anyone else

Anthropic's Claude AI assistant is experiencing outages, with users reporting frequent HTTP 529 overload errors across separate sessions, according to a Hacker News post by user codehead. The post, made 11 minutes ago, notes that 10 out of 10 attempts were failing for a user in Eastern US time, though another commenter reported no issues. The outage appears to be affecting some users but not all, with no official statement from Anthropic yet.
