Keep working when Claude is having trouble

In shortWhen Claude, the model Midfire uses, has an incident, Midfire says so, tries another Claude model, and keeps your work saved.

Some steps in Midfire are written by Claude, the model Midfire uses: drafting the first read of a new decision, generating , the hearing, checking a document and the Midfire bot. Everything else works without it, including your answers, calls, commitments, reviews and export.

What Midfire does on its own

  • When one Claude model is failing, Midfire runs the same step on another Claude model, so many steps still finish.
  • A step that fails leaves what you wrote as it was.

How you can tell

  • A dot appears on the help button in the top bar. Open help, and its first card says when the trouble started and links to Claude's live status page.
  • Beside each step that uses Claude, one line says the step may fail or take longer.
  • When Claude is down altogether, the same message runs across the top of every page.
  • A step that cannot finish says why, so you know whether to try again or to wait.

What to do

  1. Keep working on everything that does not need Claude: the frame, your answers, the calls, the people you ask.
  2. Try the step again in a few minutes.
  3. Follow the live status page, which the help card links to, for the end of the incident.

If a step keeps failing after Claude's status page says the incident is over, message Greg from help.
