Claude troubleshooting guides

For the times when the answer is more complicated than yes or no.

The front page answers one question: is Claude up right now? These pages cover the follow-up questions — the ones where the honest answer is “it depends, and here is how to tell”.

Claude Code status: is Claude Code down right now?

Anthropic publishes Claude Code as its own component, so it can be broken while claude.ai is perfectly healthy. This page reads the official feed and reports Claude Code on its own, without averaging it against five services you may not use.

Claude usage limits: why you hit them, and when they reset

A usage limit at 11pm feels identical to an outage. This is the ten-second test that tells them apart, which limits exist, why Claude Code burns through budget far faster than chat, and why capacity comes back gradually rather than at midnight.

Claude Code not working? Work down this list

An ordered checklist, sorted by how often each cause is the real one. Expired logins beat usage limits, which beat corporate proxies, which beat outdated clients — and a hanging MCP server looks exactly like the service being down.

Anthropic status vs Claude status: why they disagree

Why the official page can read All Systems Operational while Claude Code is plainly broken: a headline indicator averaging six components, a reporting lag of ten to thirty minutes, and the uncomfortable third possibility that the problem is local to you.
