  The errors that began at 14:00 UTC were mitigated at 14:36 UTC, and existing conversations are mostly working again. A second issue is preventing many users from signing in (single sign-on and Sign in with Apple are unavailable), starting new chats, voice conversations and Claude Code or Cowork sessions, making purchases, and uploading files. If you're signed in, please don't sign out. We're working on a fix and will post another update within 30 minutes.
