alt Hacker NewsI have been using anthropic almost exclusively for a year, while trying other models, and this has literally never happened. I have NEVER experienced a downtime event. At most a random error in a chat but that is immediately solved on the subsequent request. I use the desktop app, the mobile app, the api with several apps in production that I monitor and reliability has never been an issue.
I pay about $1500 per month on personal api use fyi.

I’ve had semi regular downtime since I stayed using Claude about two months ago. I love it but I find it less reliable than alternatives. This is evidenced on their status page (regularly showing red bars).
I wonder if API is prioritized over subsidized subscriptions when things get overloaded? This seems to be a common pattern I've seen.
I pay less than that for rent

Dude... whose going to tell him ?
I assume you're doing things with the API that aren't coding tasks that could be done with Claude Code? Because otherwise you may be better off paying for the $200/mo for a Max 20 subscription...
