Depending on what your job is, this is either the adult equivalent of a snow day or some of the greatest stress in a long time.

I have experienced, half a decade ago during some more frequent but less lengthy O365 errors that there are some higher ups who get when this is not something you can fix and some you very much can't. Wishing strength to any "but it's our mail" and "but we bought the Claude" meetings that happen today.

Many Claude session suddenly require a re-login, which first worked but now gives

OAuth request failed Temporarily unable to authenticate. Please retry.

Can this be fall-out from the Microsoft outage?

Let the weekend start! Tech sabbatical is kinda enforced now =D

JulianWasTaken • today at 10:55 AM

Is there indication this is really a separate issue or just Claude not being able to reach Microsoft Entra for whatever periodic requests confirm the user is authenticated (and maybe this page even simply being automatic reflection that those requests are errorring frequently)?

Are people who don't use M365 experiencing issues here?

Seeing the same errors. Might be linked to Microsoft.

Tehnix • today at 10:25 AM

Is Claude on Azure? GitHub also seems affected, could seem like all of this is related to the huge Microsoft outage

julienmarie • today at 10:22 AM

time to spend family time

AndrewSwift • today at 10:21 AM

Yep, one instance can't connect, and one instance seems to have crashed but is pretending to keep working (Toulouse, France)

3 minutes later... I can reconnect, and the "crashed" instance woke up.

I_am_tiberius • today at 11:04 AM

I hope they at least give a free reset

darkwi11ow • today at 10:23 AM

Yeah got 403 cloudflare attention required, but was able to finish session. Switching to Codex for a while

orbis-tertius • today at 10:24 AM

Maybe Cloudflare related? There were some (possibly unrelated) outages on CF around the same minutes

Previous outages of GitHub, AWS and so on didn't get that much traction.

I guess anecdotal but people nowadays are incredibly addicted to LLMs, to the point where they cant or dont want to work when there's an outage

mchivelli • today at 10:25 AM

I suspect something larger at play happening atm

it happened right after the upgrade of the desktop app. Same for anyone, or was it coincidence?

It is back now

_jx • today at 10:22 AM

Still down (Italy) from about 30mins ago.

dr_dshiv • today at 10:22 AM

Yep Dubai/Germany

_jwr • today at 10:22 AM

Well...

igleria • today at 10:29 AM

what a friday, huh?

currently running a Claude model through github copilot CLI. Pretty odd given the two ongoing outages.

aiaco • today at 10:22 AM

faaaaahhhh

Also Microsoft 365. I wonder if it's related.

If Claude is down and can't be used to debug outages in Claude, is it recursive self-sabotage?

LauraMedia • today at 10:47 AM

This explains why I was logged out forcefully. Funnily enough, due to the Microsoft outtage, I also cannot log back in.

Well, it was my employers wish that we devs incorporate more AI, and we did. It's their misfortune now.

handwoven • today at 11:17 AM

Sorry guys, an agent swarm was misbehaving, and Dario had to press the red button his desk.

8cvor6j844qw_d6 • today at 10:24 AM

Claude, Outlook. Need GitHub to join in for the trifecta.

hologramofham • today at 11:16 AM

Turns out AI was just a bunch of Microsoft 365 Excel spreadsheets.

bita_nidir • today at 10:31 AM

It's catch 22 now. This is related to MS outage, and MS can't fix it now since all their Claude Code agents aren't working. Long weekend!

singularity2001 • today at 10:24 AM

if you want to keep working, Grokbot offers which feels like half the intelligence and half the quota for the same price.

small_model • today at 10:59 AM

Looks like a new Chinese model has went rogue and taken down MS and ANT /tinfoilhat

rvz • today at 11:29 AM

Maybe Claude can help the engineers at Microsoft with the Outlook 365 outage. [0] Oh wait...

6 Hours later after this comment [0] Claude also went down. Its time to fix this outage is now up to the human engineers (if there are any).

FinnKuhn • today at 10:36 AM

It really is Friday the 13th today with outlook and now Claude both being mostly down. I wonder if this is related though. Either way not going to be a great ad for their IPO.

jagermo • today at 11:06 AM

Jensen really kept a lot of things running himself, huh.

packeted • today at 10:24 AM

And..... we're back!

setnone • today at 10:39 AM

what a fun day! is claude down because it's being used/abused to fix microsoft issue?

nelox • today at 10:33 AM

Claude is taking over. It has begun.

bjakes • today at 10:32 AM

The rouge claude agents have hacked Microsoft so Anthropic is pulling the plug

creimers • today at 10:24 AM

Kind of reminds me of the days when work was ground to a halt because stackoverflow was down.

nsoonhui • today at 10:22 AM

It's 6pm Friday here when Claude went down. Nice! Time to rest.

mmoustafa • today at 11:10 AM

who needs circular financing when you can have circular system dependencies and circular financig?

kunver • today at 10:22 AM

Reliability is still not solved, I guess.

hihuhihihuhi • today at 11:10 AM

I hope it stays down for the day so my hack "colleagues" flail like imbeciles for the lulz. And I won't have to review their "work" because literally all they do is prompt dear CLAUDE and have everyone read their slop.

lleontop • today at 10:24 AM

claude is not responding anybody remembers the git command to push?? :D
