A quiet status page is not a promise that everything works. Labs open an incident once they've confirmed one, and that can be a while after your requests start failing. If you're seeing errors and this page says nothing, you're probably early rather than wrong.

What we can say is what Anthropic published and when, for Claude, Claude Code and the Anthropic API.

If the status page is clear and it's still broken
