Frequently asked questions

Is Microsoft Azure down right now?

Microsoft Azure is responding normally. Our last automated check of portal.azure.com completed 5 minutes ago and succeeded in 408 ms. Over the past 24 hours the service answered 100.00% of our checks.

How reliable has Microsoft Azure been recently?

How fast is Microsoft Azure responding?

Microsoft Azure has averaged 242 ms across our successful checks in the past 24 hours, which is fast — comfortably within what a healthy service should return. Response time is measured from our probe to portal.azure.com and does not include rendering time in your browser.

Microsoft Azure is not working for me. Is it just me?

Our probe is reaching portal.azure.com normally right now, so the problem is more likely to be local to you than a full outage. Use the report button on this page to add your own signal — when several people report the same problem within a short window, it appears on the chart above.

Microsoft Azure is not working — what to try

  1. 1

    Separate API failures from dashboard failures

    A working marketing site does not mean a working API. Call the API host directly — curl -s -o /dev/null -w "%{http_code}" https://portal.azure.com/ — and check the vendor status page linked above for component-level detail, since one component can fail while the rest stay green.

  2. 2

    Check for rate limiting before assuming an outage

    HTTP 429 and 529 mean you are being throttled, not that the service is down. Inspect the response headers for a retry-after value and back off exponentially rather than retrying immediately.

  3. 3

    Verify your credentials have not expired

    A 401 or 403 is an authentication problem on your side. Rotated keys, an expired billing method, or a revoked token all present as sudden total failure.

  4. 4

    Confirm the problem is not your connection

    Open any other site. If nothing loads, the issue is your network rather than Microsoft Azure. On Windows run ping portal.azure.com and nslookup portal.azure.com in Command Prompt; on macOS or Linux use Terminal. A DNS failure and a server failure look identical in a browser but are very different problems.

  5. 5

    Bypass your own cache

    Load portal.azure.com in a private or incognito window. If it works there, clear cookies and site data for portal.azure.com in your normal browser rather than clearing everything.

  6. 6

    Try a different network

    Switch from Wi-Fi to mobile data, or vice versa. Regional ISP routing problems are common and often affect one carrier while others are unaffected.
