Claude back up after Anthropic’s AI models, tools suffer second outage in 24 hours
Claude’s outages began the same day that AWS reported disruptions after one of its data centres in the UAE was struck by “objects”, which reportedly triggered a fire.

Access to Anthropic’s Claude has been restored after the AI chatbot faced disruption in several parts of the world for the second time in less than 24 hours, according to outage tracking website Downdetector.com.
Anthropic’s latest large language model, Claude Opus 4.6, and its AI-powered tools such as Claude CoWork and Claude Code saw “elevated errors”, according to the company’s official Claude status page. However, the incident has now been resolved, Anthropic posted in an update timestamped 7:59pm IST on Tuesday, March 3.
Claude had experienced another major outage on Monday, March 2, with more than 900 users reporting issues at the peak of the disruption at around 5:30pm.

The company had said it was investigating “elevated errors” occurring with the Claude chatbot, Claude Opus 4.6 (its latest large language model), Claude Console (the Claude developer platform), and Claude Code (the company’s AI-powered coding assistant), as per its post on the status page timestamped 5:19pm IST on March 2.
Claude’s recent outages seems to have begun the same day that Amazon Web Services (AWS) reported disruptions after one of its data centres in the UAE was struck by “objects”, which reportedly triggered a fire.
The UAE is reeling from Iran’s retaliatory missile and drone strikes following US and Israeli attacks on Iran. The Iranian strikes hit airports, ports, and residential areas across the country and the wider Gulf region.

Two of Amazon cloud unit’s zones, which are clusters of data centres, in the UAE were without power on Monday, the company said on its status page. For context, AWS is Anthropic’s primary cloud provider and training partner. However, there is no confirmation that the two incidents are linked.
