Claude outage lasted 2 hours and 46 minutes

Anthropic’s status page records a 166-minute outage on August 24, with elevated errors across Claude Opus 5, Fable 5, Mythos 5 and other models from 04:50 to 07:36 UTC. The incident record says the company identified the cause and stabilized the affected requests, but does not disclose the cause itself. Teams running production coding or workspace agents should treat model failover and resumable work as baseline controls, alongside the archive’s approval model for Claude write actions.
