Claude outage sparks discussion: building provider-agnostic backup plans for LLM workflows
Appropriate-Raise600 · reddit · 2026-11-13
A Reddit user in the EU reported Claude going down around 11:15am CET, forcing re-logins, with service restored after 10-15 minutes. The incident prompted a contingency plan for keeping work alive during provider outages:
- Build an LLM-provider-agnostic session memory layer so work can resume seamlessly on ChatGPT or Gemini
- Pre-configure backup models via OpenRouter
- Subscribe to Claude status updates and instruct agents to switch providers during incidents
The author is soliciting additional strategies for minimizing single-provider risk.
