If you're having issues getting Claude to respond to queries on desktop or mobile, it's not just you.

I've been trying to chat with Anthropic's popular AI assistant for a bit this morning, and am seeing the orange sun icon – aka Claude's thinking sign – or being presented with a "This isn't working right now. You can try again later."

It does seem to be intermittent at times, eventually answering a query, but it's enough of an issue that Anthropic has confirmed 'Elevated errors on Claude.ai' currently. Reports on Down Detector Claude have shot up a bit, sitting at over 2,900 as of 11:32 AM ET.

So, to track what's going on with Claude right now and hopefully a speedy recovery back to normal, TechRadar is spinning up a live blog to cover it all.

Claude's confirmed an issue

Now, shortly after we encountered issues using Claude and a slew of reports on Down Detector, Anthropic confirmed an 'elevated errors' issue for Claude on its status page.

The full update reads as: "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."

The issues Anthropic confirmed for Claude are trying to sign in, using voice mode, and using chat. The latter is the one I've encountered, as well as a colleague at TechRadar and a friend who flagged it to me.
