Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Guy Leech (@guyrleech) reportedStart VM on Connect not working from the native Windows App today but has previously. @Azure permissions set properly. Start same desktop as same user via the web client on same machine & the VM starts. No error in Windows App, just stops showing "Connecting" (and never shows Starting).🙁
-
Jeff Blankenburg (@jeffblankenburg) reportedI have never seen an organization more aggressive about NOT providing support than I am experiencing with @Azure right now. Can't log in, can't get support. So angry.
-
Chris G (@crypspaz9999) reported@Azure What is wrong with your back end today...AAD keeps timing out, it's breaking all my damn CI/CD pipeline runs. Please fix your ****!
-
Paleheart (@zgf2022) reported@Azure Azure sucks
-
Siddharth (@sid_thinketh) reported@Azure - Please your support for smaller businesses need to get way better. :(
-
JSeds (@jackseds) reported@ANDY29493 @Azure No, they have too much to fix before they can add new features
-
Rahul S R (@Rahulsr01) reported@ghbdigital @Azure Ironically my main subscription tenant was disabled for inactivity and 2 days before i paid the pay as u go bill for the same ...funny how the support url takes u to general chat thread and not to any forms... I had to use my official subscription to trigger support
-
Ganesh Behera (@ghbdigital) reported@Azure @AzureSupport Thanks, but this issue has already caused prolonged downtime and serious business impact. We need urgent manual review, not just a redirect. Please have @AzureSupport review our case immediately and help with reactivation or data recovery. I can share the support case no by DM.
-
ThePunKing (@The_PunKing) reported@Azure making shift-enter run queries is the most dangerous thing in the world. Holy crap! DELETE FROM <enter> students <shift+enter> WHERE <enter> id = 327 Sincerly, Someone who is thankful he is only selecting in this azure interface
-
AllCaps Inc (@allcaps_inc) reported@Azure @MicrosoftHelps I am trying hard to sign up to the Microsoft Partner program to get an MPN ID. I keep getting this error - {"code":2100,"description":"A legal entity matching the request payload already exists when creating the legal entity.","data":[],"source":"PartnerAccountEnrollmentApi"} I don't have an account already. So, not sure what this error is about. Help!! Your support doesn't work either. I keep going in loops. Why would you make it so difficult to just get a partner account

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?

Decent Cloud (@DecentCloud_org) reported@Azure @ghbdigital @AzureSupport Official account: redirect to support. Support: open a ticket. Problem: still yours.

Vishal (@Vishhallu) reportedAnna University’s result server has been down for about 1 day straight, Millions of students vs one sad little server. Maybe its time to use New Technology👇🏻👇🏻 @AWSCloudIndia @digitalocean @Azure
-
Galaxy.ai (@galaxyai__) reported@Azure Multilingual support is a massive win, finally I can generate memes in more than one language.
-
Inflectiv AI ⧉ (@inflectivAI) reported@Azure Using real-world architectures ensures that your application is built to handle professional workloads from the very beginning. Following these proven patterns helps avoid common scaling issues and security mistakes that usually happen during early development.

Siva Prasad (@Sivapr_Vz) reportedHey @Azure @MicrosoftIndia — I was charged ₹1,700 for a 'NetworkWatcherRG' that was AUTO-CREATED by Azure in UAE North during my learning practice. I never intentionally deployed it. Already deleted it. Kindly look into Invoice #G157606830 and process a refund. #MicrosoftAzure
-
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
-
Conor O'Neill (@conoro) reportedOf all the hyperscalers, @AzureSupport's refusal to do timely updates on their status dashboard is absolutely enraging. The last time Azure OpenAI had a problem in late October, MS finally updated the dashboard 3 hours after the outage began! Does @Azure even have a NOC?
-
Jon Olson (@jonolson_) reported@Azure "Clicking through the Azure Portal to manually create a Job and a Task is incredibly tedious and completely defeats the purpose of using a massive, scalable compute service like Azure Batch." -Gemini 3 Pro
-
N810 (@nathansaadat) reported@Azure Okay I sent a DM. I would really appreciate your help.
-
Luca Restagno 🐢 blacktwist.app (@ikoichi) reportedgpt-5.2 has been down the whole European morning on @Azure @AzureSupport please help.

Vikas Mishra 🇮🇳 (@VikasMi34498235) reported@AzureSupport @Azure @MicrosoftLearn I have been trying to resolve a certification issue for the last 20 days but it is still not resolved.Ticket: 2602180030002690.i did NOT delete my Microsoft Learn profile. I recently left my previous org HCL, and my company email may have been deactivated.
-
Brad Gessler (@bradgessler) reported@cpinto @Azure @googlecloud Unbelievable. I bet it's still broken 6 months from now.
-
Kodeus (@TheKodeusLabs) reported@NVIDIADC @Azure Infra is scaling fast to bring agents into production, but infrastructure alone doesn’t solve the core problem running agents is one thing, trusting their execution is another.
-
SeenThroughaLens (@LensSeen) reportedSeems like nobody at @Azure or @MicrosoftHelps care about customer service...
-
Lord Waffleman (@LordWaffleman) reported@Azure I'd rather drag my face across broken glass than use Azure again. It'll happen, but I won't like it.
-
Decent Cloud (@DecentCloud_org) reported@Rahulsr01 @ghbdigital @Azure Payment processed. Access denied. Support deflects. Three separate systems, zero coordination.
-
whoajack (@whoajack) reportedWho knew Azure was so expensive :P VM, cheap (like less than $20/month). Bastion host to connect to it, not cheap. LIke $150/month. Time to switch to AWS. WTF :P @Azure
-
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
