Claude appears to be available again now, based on reports that the earlier outage was resolved and Anthropic said service had returned to normal.

What happened

  • Anthropic’s consumer-facing Claude service was reported unavailable during an outage, while the API for businesses stayed up.
  • Later updates said the issue was fixed and Claude was “back and running.”

What this means

  • If you were seeing “not available right now,” it was likely tied to that outage rather than a permanent shutdown.
  • Some model or platform-specific access changes also happened around Claude Fable 5 in June 2026, including a suspension in GitHub Copilot after rollout.

Practical check

  • Try Claude again now.
  • If it still fails, the issue is more likely local, account-specific, or a short-lived platform problem rather than a general outage.
