 This means the errors could affect both regular [Claude](https://sqmagazine.co.uk/claude-ai-statistics/) users and developers who rely on the Claude API for applications and other services.

Anthropic posted the incident update at **13:26 UTC on September 3, 2026**. At the time of that update, the incident remained in the **investigating** stage.

The company stated, “**We are investigating elevated errors on requests to Claude Mythos 5.1, Claude Fable 5.1, and Claude Opus 5. We will provide an update as soon as possible.**“

## Anthropic Is Investigating the Errors

Anthropic has not yet provided details about what caused the elevated error rates or how long the disruption could last.

Since the investigation is still underway, it is unclear whether all affected users are experiencing errors or whether the problems are limited to certain requests.

For now, users experiencing problems with Claude will need to wait for further information from Anthropic as the company works to identify and resolve the issue.

## SQ Magazine Takeaway

I think the scope of this incident is the most important part. With **Claude AI, the API, Claude Code, and Claude Cowork** all listed as affected, the [disruption reaches beyond people](https://sqmagazine.co.uk/claude-down-anthropic-investigates-multi-model-errors/) simply chatting with Claude. Developers and users relying on Claude for everyday work could also feel the impact. The good news is that Anthropic has acknowledged the problem and is actively investigating it.
