We've got lost workout plans, interrupted final exam studying, and half-built dev environments. F's in the chat for your lost context.\n*   One user reported a particularly spooky issue right before the crash: Claude started spitting out parts of *another user's conversation*. Double yikes.\n*   The usual demands for a usage reset are here, but don't get your hopes up. An Enterprise user chimed in to say their service was stable, confirming suspicions that the big-money clients get priority.\n*   The outage was resolved in about 36 minutes. For future reference, you can always check Anthropic's official status page instead of asking \"is it down for anyone else?\" for the 50th time.\n\n[17 upvotes] Don’t want to be that guy, but the number of Claude outages and issues compared to its expense is probably making it pretty difficult for Anthropic to convince all these companies to switch their entire internal infrastructure over to their product…\n\n[14 upvotes] was troubleshooting a workout plan and didn't write down the weights/reps, RIP\n\n[13 upvotes] I need one of this \"Claude for Government\" accounts. \n\n[7 upvotes] Of course it happens right as I'm about to hit a reset. (lmao, who is on here auto-downvoting people?)",
