On September 29, 2026, Claude experienced a major outage from 14:00–14:59 UTC affecting claude.ai (web, desktop, and mobile), Claude Code, Claude Cowork, and the API, with users unable to authenticate, start new chats, upload files, or complete requests. A second issue emerged mid-incident blocking sign-ins via SSO and Sign in with Apple, compounding the initial error spike. Services were fully restored by 14:59 UTC, though some messages sent during the outage window may not have been saved.
The issue affecting Claude.ai, the Claude desktop and mobile apps, Claude Code, Claude Cowork, and the Claude API has been resolved, and services have been operating normally since recovery. Impact occurred from 07:00 PT / 14:00 UTC to 07:59 PT / 14:59 UTC.

The errors that began at 14:00 UTC were mitigated at 14:36 UTC, and existing conversations are mostly working again. A second issue is preventing many users from signing in (single sign-on and Sign in with Apple are unavailable), starting new chats, voice conversations and Claude Code or Cowork sessions, making purchases, and uploading files. If you're signed in, please don't sign out. We're working on a fix and will post another update within 30 minutes.
