Frequently Asked Questions
Is Azure OpenAI down right now?
No, Azure OpenAI is not down right now. The Azure status feed has no active items affecting Azure OpenAI Service, Cognitive Services, or AI Foundry.
How do you monitor Azure OpenAI status?
We pull Microsoft's Azure status RSS feed every 2 minutes and filter items by keyword (azure openai, openai service, cognitive services, ai foundry, ai services) so you only see issues affecting OpenAI on Azure, not unrelated Azure components. The feed is empty when nothing is actively wrong, which we report as operational.
Azure OpenAI vs Azure AI Foundry vs Cognitive Services. Which one am I checking?
All of them. Microsoft has rebranded the same underlying service multiple times (Cognitive Services originally, Azure OpenAI Service in 2023, AI Foundry in 2024+). Status items can land under any of those names depending on when they were published, so we match all of them.
What do I do when Azure OpenAI is down?
Switch your inference traffic to another region (Azure OpenAI is regionally deployed and most outages are partial), or fall back to a different provider. Anthropic Claude API and the public OpenAI API are usually unaffected by Azure OpenAI outages because the underlying capacity is provisioned separately. Check tensorfeed.ai/status for the live status of every major AI provider.
How fast does this page detect an Azure OpenAI outage?
Within 2 minutes of Microsoft publishing it. Microsoft sometimes lags by 10 to 30 minutes from the actual incident start, which is a known limitation of Azure's status reporting (Microsoft's process requires multiple confirmations before an item posts). For faster detection, the active probing on tensorfeed.ai/status often catches issues before status pages do.
