Spotify, Anthropic's Claude down for some US users, Downdetector shows - Reuters

Spotify’s music‑streaming service and Anthropic’s Claude artificial‑intelligence chatbot experienced service disruptions affecting a portion of users in the United States, according to real‑time monitoring by Downdetector.

The outage was reported by users on Downdetector, which indicated that both platforms were experiencing problems for some U.S. customers. The monitoring tool flagged increased reports of connectivity and functionality issues, suggesting a localized impact rather than a global failure.

Spotify acknowledged the situation on its X (formerly Twitter) account, stating that it was aware of “some issues” and that its technical team was investigating the cause. The company did not provide further details about the scope or expected resolution time.

Anthropic, the developer of the Claude chatbot, also responded on its official channels, indicating that it was probing “elevated error rates.” The company’s statement implied that the disruptions were linked to higher-than-normal error occurrences within its service.

Both firms have not yet confirmed when full service will be restored, and users experiencing difficulties have been advised to monitor official communications for updates.
