Claude experienced a global service disruption on March 2, affecting claude.ai, Claude Code, and all login paths. Nearly 2,000 concurrent reports on Downdetector. Root cause: authentication infrastructure failure from "unprecedented demand" — not the AI models themselves. The API (api.anthropic.com) remained functional throughout, meaning enterprise integrations were unaffected while consumer and developer tools went dark. This follows Claude hitting #1 on the App Store after the Pentagon standoff, suggesting the consumer surge from the ChatGPT cancellation wave is outpacing Anthropic's infrastructure scaling. Builder takeaway: API-direct integrations proved more resilient than web-based access. BleepingComputer | Bloomberg
