Microsoft Azure Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Mark Xiong (@beaniedude0122) reportedMicrosoft needs to replace their Azure customer support team. How tf can every legit call I receive from them sound like a scam????? @Azure
-
moncd (@moncadad) reportedHey @Azure / @AzureSupport I’m completely blocked from accessing Azure. Error: AADSTS5000225 (tenant blocked due to inactivity) Portal shows: no subscriptions available This looks like a tenant/subscription provisioning issue. Support case already open can this be escalated?
-
Mark Hughes (@huzi8t9) reportedIt seems @Azure SQL Servers/Databases have connectivity issues. Intermittent in the last few days but nothing on their status page 😭
-
🔶Martin Goss🔶 (@MartinGossCol) reported@Azure terrible lack of support for a paying customer. How do I get to speak to a human being please? Seems absolutely useless support.
-
逢坂隆也 Zac (@zach_coredump) reported@MSCloud @Microsoft When could you guys fix this issue? Anyone with email only is able to request login process.
-
Conor O'Neill (@conoro) reportedFor anyone checking on here - Yes @Azure OpenAI in Europe is still shagged. Despite what the @AzureSupport "status" page says. Mostly fixed by 13:30 GMT+1 except West Europe. But since 15:42 GMT+1 Sweden, UK South and West Europe all bad again. p95 response time of 78 seconds!
-
Decent Cloud (@DecentCloud_org) reported@Rahulsr01 @ghbdigital @Azure Payment processed. Access denied. Support deflects. Three separate systems, zero coordination.
-
Guy Leech (@guyrleech) reportedOne of the vendors we use who hook into @Azure @Microsoft365 are reporting that error 503 is being returned and @Microsoft have confirmed that there is a problem
-
Damian Figiel (@DamianCTO) reported@Azure just lost its most valuable competitive edge. @OpenAI officially ended its cloud exclusivity with Microsoft. Their models can now be deployed on any cloud provider, and AWS CEO @ajassy already confirmed GPT models are coming to Bedrock "in the coming weeks." This was always going to happen. You can't build a $150B AI company and let one vendor own your distribution channel forever. The 2019 Azure exclusivity deal made sense when OpenAI needed survival compute. In 2026, it was just dead weight. The real lesson is that single-cloud dependencies in AI were always a bad bet. Model access, GPU availability, data sovereignty, you want optionality in all three. Anyone who locked their AI stack to Azure assuming exclusivity would last is doing some uncomfortable math right now. Is your AI stack still locked to one cloud or are you already spreading the risk?
-
Jon Olson (@jonolson_) reported@Azure "This specific error actually isn't an Azure Batch configuration problem or a permissions issue—it is a hardware architecture mismatch." (oops this was my fault for building a docker image on Mac m4 and targeting x86)
-
Luca Restagno 🐢 blacktwist.app (@ikoichi) reportedgpt-5.2 has been down the whole European morning on @Azure @AzureSupport please help.
-
atulsharma (@twitatulsharma) reported@Office @MSCloud @MicrosoftHelps Microsoft team it’s been a month. My 20 employees as waiting to get an email id. Your support is too slow to fix my licensing issue. I can’t buy more licence bcoz of some error and your team just capturing my logs. TrackingID#26052500300052
-
AIMadeSimple (@makingAISimple) reportedOpenAI is completing with @awscloud @googlecloud and @Azure This is interesting. But they are still depending on their infrastructure to launch this service. So basically the competition is PaaS
-
Ganesh Behera (@ghbdigital) reportedDisappointed with @Azure support. Our application has been down for over 16 hours, we have received no proper revert, and the support flow did not even allow us to select the right severity for a business-critical outage. Startups need better than this. #Azure #Microsoft
-
SeenThroughaLens (@LensSeen) reportedSeems like nobody at @Azure or @MicrosoftHelps care about customer service...
-
Romain de Wolff (@romaindewolff) reported@Azure if u see this I can share ticket number for support
-
MsftTechNews (@MsftTechNews) reported@JayCee83519 @MSCloud @MSFTReactor Apologies for the confusion. Seems like the issue has been resolved.
-
Syed Sameer (@syedsameer2024) reported@AzureSupport @Azure We joined for startup support, but unexpected charges we thought Azure credits covered put us at risk of suspension. We’re unable to pay now and request a review of these charges plus an extension or relief. We value long-term partnership. #Azure #Startups
-
JSeds (@jackseds) reported@ANDY29493 @Azure No, they have too much to fix before they can add new features
-
Veer Shrivastav (@srivastaveer) reportedThere is absolutely no way to create a ticket on Azure Support even after taking $100 support plan. It's P0 issue our systems are down and there are so many unnecessary forms. @MicrosoftIndia @Microsoft @Azure We need immediate help.
-
#aditya singh (@mranonymouss272) reportedI have raised a request this is the id 2604100030006977 .kindly support @Azure @AzureSupport
-
Technophile (@Technop54777070) reportedWorking on setting up disaggregated deployment of azure local connected to pure storage. I see the vision but holy crap the initial config is painful 😭 @Azure
-
N810 (@nathansaadat) reported@Azure Okay I sent a DM. I would really appreciate your help.
-
Fabien Snauwaert 🇫🇷🇺🇸 🇪🇸🇭🇺🇷🇺 (@fabiensnauwaert) reportedMy experience with @Azure: - Pay USD 123.58/mo for Postgres - Server gets stuck on restart. Cannot access it. Gotta contact support. - Pay $29 to contact support. But that's business hours only, and it's 2 AM. - Pay $100/mo to reach 24/7 support. - SLA is 1h. Get a response 2h later. - Request a refund. Get ignored for 13 days. - Escalate the ticket. - Receive 5 full-page apology emails, all expecting a response. - Server still not stable. - Upgrade to USD 218.48/mo. This is the kind of nonsense @levelsio warns about. Meanwhile, Hetzner would cost ~€40/mo.
-
Conor O'Neill (@conoro) reportedThinking about it, @Azure couldn't have picked a worse time to have a wide scale multi-hour OpenAI outage. Their whole "We're Enterprise" schtick really didn't hold up to scrutiny. And now we have options in Europe with AWS.
-
zoomies.llamafile (@snappercayt) reported@dotMorten @Azure @azureadvocates Means if I check a brand new Windows VM on Azure it should definitely support nuget to install any development dependencies?
-
Tech P (@Tech_p001) reported@Azure "The question isn't where AI should run—it’s how many billions of dollars are being wasted running models on unoptimized, chaotic data estates just to satisfy FOMO. You can't out-build bad data architecture with more compute."
-
Vishal (@Vishhallu) reportedAnna University’s result server has been down for 16 hours straight Millions of students vs one sad little server. Maybe it’s time for an intervention? @AWSCloudIndia @Azure @digitalocean
-
Alex Crossley (@alexcrossley) reportedPlease, can anyone at @Azure Business Support understand that I can not log into Azure, and so I can not use the portal for support? HELP!
-
Neon Cosmo (@VowOfJudgment) reported@Azure The latest official Edge build can't synchronize Profiles with old MS Accounts like @live.com.ar We've had these accounts for around 20 years, and spent a lot of money on MS Store purchases. If #Microsoft does not fix this it's plain theft.
