Well you are lucky.  Ancestry clusters won't work for me today - unexpected application error!

Anybody else got this?

I've had that every time and have to hit refresh.

Just tried the kit of a removed cousin that I can access, match list on that kit correctly shows the relationship between myself and my half sib but the cluster report predicts uncle and niece.

Like others here, i have just got the cluster option, and have to say its very disappointing compared to the MyHeritage version. Despite most of my MH matches being transfers from Ancestry i only have 3 clusters compared to 21 from MH. 
Now i do like the fact that the display is showing an overlap between 2 of the clusters (effectively making one a sib-cluster of the other). But otherwise the clusters are not showing me anything new, all the people are ones i have linked in my tree already, so not giving me any new hints to look at.
I know its only beta, so things might get better as they refine the logic, but i am not going to hold my breath.

"Matches by cluster is not available to all customers, and some members will not be able to access this feature until December 2025"

Only four more days to wait - maybe?

The ranges for half-siblings and uncle/niece overlap, and are very similar.

There's no consistency to it, in match lists some people see us as half sibs, others as uncle/niece but it can be different again in clusters. Confirming the correct relationship on my match list & linking us in my tree to our father has no bearing on the predictions others see.
I'm 19 years her junior but remain somewhat mystified as to why an incorrect prediction doesn't favour the more obvious aunt/nephew given the age gap.
