API Error: 500
{"type":"error","error":{"type":"api_error","message":"Internal server
error"},"request_id":"req_011Ca5jZKofFEzfRoVfncZn9"} · check

TL;DR

Check the status of the Anthropic API at status.claude.com for any ongoing issues that may be causing the 500 Internal Server Error.

Guidance

• The error message suggests an internal server error, which may indicate a problem on the server-side rather than a client-side issue.
• Since this is a regression and the issue is reported on the latest version of Claude Code, it's possible that a recent change in the API or server configuration is causing the error.
• Checking the status page may provide more information about the cause of the error or any scheduled maintenance that may be impacting the service.
• If the issue persists, consider reaching out to the Anthropic API support team for further assistance, as the problem may be specific to their infrastructure.

Notes

The provided information does not include specific details about the API request being made or any additional context that might help identify the root cause of the issue. Therefore, the guidance is limited to general troubleshooting steps.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Check the status of the Anthropic API and wait for any reported issues to be resolved before attempting to use the service again. This approach is recommended because the error message explicitly suggests checking the status page, indicating that the issue may be related to server-side maintenance or problems.
