Not in frequency — Claude's status history lists 23 incidents in July 2026 alone and 47 in June, mostly brief single-model 'elevated errors' events. What made this week stand out was Claude and ChatGPT spiking on Downdetector the same day, followed by four more Claude model-serving incidents (plus a separate SSO login failure) in the next 48 hours.
