If you're having issues getting Claude to respond, you're not alone. Reports on Down Detector for Anthropic's popular AI assistant have begun to spike as of 10:29am ET / 3.29am GMT, and now currently sit at over 1,400 reports.
I am having trouble getting my free Claude to respond to all sorts of queries on desktop and mobile. A friend on the Claude Max 5x account is getting a "Something went wrong" message, then being asked to try again.
Furthermore, Anthropic's Claude status page currently shows an active disruption causing "Elevated errors on Claude.ai," and notes that it's investigating the issue. So to track the issues with Claude today, March 11, 2026, TechRadar is spinning up a live blog to cover it all.
Refresh
Down Detector reports have dropped to under 1,000, currently at a little over 900. Lance has also shared the screenshot below, but Claude is back to working on the web on a desktop again.
We're still waiting on another update from Anthropic, but it might be that Claude is recovering.

We're still waiting on another update from Anthropic on the elevated error rates with Claude, and while I'm still having difficulties with a free account on the web, my colleague Lance Ulanoff – TechRadar's Editor-at-Large – let me know that Claude on mobile is working just fine. Specifically, with the app on iOS.

Anthropic has issued another update on the Claude status page:
"Update - We're currently investigating issues with Claude Code and Claude.ai. Some users may be unable to log in, and others may experience slower than usual performance. The Claude API is not affected."
Good news: the team at Anthropic is on it and investigating. It's also really appreciated that it's actively updating the status page, and it seems the disruptions today are centered within Claude.ai and Claude Code, resulting in slower responses and not being able to log in. This update was posted at 11:44 AM ET and notes that the API is not impacted.
On my free account, Claude is taking a good bit to respond right now, and then eventually delivers an error. The option there is to reask the question and then essentially try again.
My friend on the Max 5x plan from Claude shared the screenshot below with me showing the 'Something went wrong' error.
As a timer, we're over an hour in now since reports started, and it also appears to be impacting signing into Claude. I'm getting a "We are experiencing delivery issues with some email providers and are working to resolve this" error when trying to sign into my account on another device.
Let me know in the comments below if this issue is impacting your Claude account.
