Elevated error rates on Opus 4.5 and Sonnet 4.5

Jan 14, 08:34 AM — Resolved Jan 14, 02:17 PM

On January 14, 2026, users experienced errors when using Claude Opus 4.5 and Sonnet 4.5 due to a service deployment that temporarily reduced our serving capacity. We identified and rolled back the deployment, restored full capacity, and services returned to normal within approximately 4 hours. We are implementing safeguards to prevent similar deployment-related disruptions in the future.

Increased rate of errors for Opus 4.5

Jan 13, 07:27 AM — Resolved Jan 13, 07:49 AM

On January 12-13, 2026, Claude Opus 4.5 users experienced elevated error rates and degraded service for approximately 2 hours across two separate incidents. The root cause was a configuration mismatch between our inference servers that caused our load balancing system to route traffic unevenly, overloading a subset of our infrastructure. We have fixed the underlying configuration issue and added safeguards to prevent similar mismatches in the future.
