Incident Report: Multi-Model Performance Degradation

Current Status: Investigating Resolved This technical disruption has been fully addressed, and services have returned to their expected operational baseline.


๐Ÿ“ Executive Summary

On June 23, 2026, an anomaly was detected involving an elevated error rate impacting several Claude models. The issue persisted for approximately 85 minutes.

๐Ÿ“‰ Technical Impact

The error rate ฯต\epsilon during the incident can be described as: ฯตincidentโ‰ซฯตbaseline\epsilon_{incident} \gg \epsilon_{baseline} where ฯต\epsilon represents the ratio of failed requests to total requests.

๐Ÿ›  Affected Ecosystems

The following platforms experienced instability:

  • claude.ai (Web Interface)
  • platform.claude.com (Claude Console)
  • api.anthropic.com (Claude API)
  • Claude Code
  • Claude Cowork
