Forget downtime, even when I'm able to use it, the limits make it unusable.

As an example, on my free account, I literally sent 1 message asking for information from an ongoing chat, no research, just a simple question and it exhausted it's 5 hour limit. I was using sonnet 4.6 btw. This is crazy.

Anyone else having the same issue? And if someone from Anthropic is reading this, please communicate. This feels like a bug.

Some SRE is getting pinged and having lots of fun right now

Per my sources in there, Amodei does not believe in hiring SREs.

In case you were, for some reason or other, wondering.

Opus has been down for hours now. They're about to go under 99% uptime.

It's super slow even when they say they have fixed it.

Claude is now at 98.97% uptime.

Software engineering is solved.

Claude is on a lunch break just like a human would.
