Keep your automations running when Claude API is down

Retry with a growing delay, send failures to an error workflow, and get alerted when runs stop succeeding. In n8n, every node has a Retry On Fail setting; Make has Break error handlers that retry incomplete executions; Zapier can replay failed runs with Autoreplay. Datvero watches the runs of your n8n, Make and Zapier workflows and alerts you when they fail, whatever the cause.

Which Anthropic components does this page cover?

This page covers Claude API (api.anthropic.com), as named on the official status page. For all of Claude, see the Claude page.

Where is the official Claude API status page?

Anthropic publishes it at https://status.claude.com/. This page republishes its public feed every 5 minutes with timestamps. Datvero is not affiliated with Anthropic.

Why does Claude API fail when the status page is green?

When the status page is green but calls fail, read the HTTP code. The Claude API returns 529 (overloaded_error) when it is temporarily overloaded by high traffic across all users, and 429 (rate_limit_error) when your organization hits a rate limit or a spend limit. Both deserve a retry with a growing delay.

Is Claude API down for everyone or only for me?

The status page lists what Anthropic has declared. If it is green and you still see errors, read the error code, retry with a growing delay, and check whether the problem is specific to your account, your region or one integration. A green page does not prove that every request to Claude API succeeds.

How do I keep my automations running when Claude API is down?

In n8n, every node has a Retry On Fail setting; Make has Break error handlers that retry incomplete executions; Zapier can replay failed runs with Autoreplay. Datvero watches the runs of your n8n, Make and Zapier workflows and alerts you when they fail, whatever the cause.
