Our tests of Anthropic's models
We send "Reply with OK" to Claude Haiku 4.5 every 5 minutes and Claude Fable 5.1 every 30 minutes, and time how long each takes to start answering and to finish. The verdict covers the last 15 minutes: our last three tests.

What Anthropic's status page says
Anthropic's own status page, read at most once a minute. It reports incidents once Anthropic's team confirms them, so it can lag behind what users and our tests see.

What our test covers, and what it doesn't
Our test calls Anthropic's Claude models through their API, the way llmwise's chat does, so it sees what the models do. claude.ai and the Claude apps add their own website, sign-in and usage limits on top, which status.claude.com tracks as separate parts.
Each test is one message of a few words, with the reply capped at 32 tokens, tried once, with no retry and no switch to another route. A test counts as failed when the model refuses it as busy (a rate limit or "overloaded"), breaks (a server error), drops the connection, or takes more than 30 seconds. A test our own request broke doesn't count against Claude.
What to do now
Check the two answers above. If both look fine, it's likely your browser, network or usage limit.
Reload and resend. If a long chat keeps failing, start a new one.
Try the Claude app or another browser, with extensions and VPN off.
If Anthropic's side is having trouble, ask another company's model for now.
Ask another model
llmwise has GPT, Gemini, Grok and more in one chat, so an outage at one company doesn't stop your work. The free trial is 5 messages, with a sign-in link by email and no card.
Claude errors, and how to fix them
The errors people see most with Claude, what each one usually means, and what to try.
"Claude is currently experiencing high demand" or "overloaded"
Anthropic doesn't have room for your request just now. It passes on its own.
Wait a minute or two and resend. If it lasts, switch to a smaller Claude model, or another company's model.
"Something went wrong" or a reply that stops
A server error, or a conversation that has grown too long.
Reload claude.ai and retry the message. A very long chat fails more often: start a new one with a summary of the old.
"You've reached your usage limit"
Your plan's messages for this window are used up.
It says when your limit resets. That's your plan, not an outage: our test and the status page will both look fine.
Claude won't load at all
Often the network or a browser extension, sometimes the website itself.
Try another browser or the app, turn off extensions and any VPN, and check status.claude.com's claude.ai line.

Questions
Is Claude down for everyone, or just me?
Compare the two answers at the top. If our test of Claude passes and status.claude.com shows claude.ai working, it's more likely your browser, network or plan's usage limit. If both show trouble, it's Anthropic's side, and waiting or switching models are the options.
What does "Claude is overloaded" mean?
It means Anthropic's servers are too busy for your request right now, and it passes on its own, usually within minutes. It isn't your usage limit, which has its own message saying when it resets.
Do you test claude.ai itself?
We test Claude through Anthropic's API, as llmwise's chat uses it: a tiny message to Claude Haiku 4.5 every 5 minutes and Claude Fable 5.1 every 30 minutes. claude.ai runs on the same models with its own website and limits, so the two can differ; status.claude.com lists each separately.
What can I use while Claude is down?
Another company's model. In llmwise GPT, Gemini, and Grok are in the same chat, and the free trial is 5 messages with no card.
Claude, GPT, Gemini, DeepSeek, Grok, Kimi, and GLM, in one chat.
