I have also received the same message and am currently unable to use the service normally. I waited for over 20 minutes but received nothing in return. Resubmitting only leads to the same endless waiting loop. I am a Pro user.
i cant do anything, it says Claude Slow Pool is under heavy load or Connection failed. If the problem persists, please check your internet connection or VPN
I would literally like to share my frustration over the product as a paying user. I CAN’T use the Auto mode, because of something or someone eats up all the slow quota. You are forcing users to turn on the pay-as-you-go model or the product is a brick.
STOP sharing your quota for free unless you are able to handle your paid users requests first. Your existing clients must be a priority.
Then share it with students.
I have switched to Cursor after 6 years of VSCode because if became slow and unresponsive in terms of AI tools. If there there is other product that will treat their paid users first - I will swithc to that product from Cursor.
Just to clarify. It is NOT SLOW. It DOES NOT response at all. So you are 100% blocked from ANY requests unless you pay extra. So NO REQUESTS work except for they pay-extra ones.
Exactly, this has been happening a lot. I’m pretty sure it’s not high traffic, since I have two different internet addresses and when I change them it starts working again, which smells like a limitation to prevent constant use.
Terrible, they charge a lot and offer the worst service, I’m literally thinking about canceling. It’s clearly not a bug, it’s a limitation placed on the new versions.
