The Problem
While using Claude, it suddenly refuses to respond with something like:
Claude is currently overloaded. Please try again later. (Overloaded_error)
The Cause
This means Anthropic's servers are receiving more requests than they can handle at that moment, so new requests are temporarily rejected until traffic eases — most common during peak hours.
The Fix
- Wait a minute or two and try again.
- Refresh the page or restart the app.
- Check status.anthropic.com for any announced outage.
- Try again at a different time, away from US peak hours.
- If you're using the API, add retry logic with exponential backoff in your code.
This is always temporary and has nothing to do with your account — it resolves itself once server load drops.
