  I 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.

  @Azure COPILOT IN AZURE IS USELESS AS HELL, IT DOESN’T SOLVE ****. IT FEELS LIKE AN AI MADE BY A 12-YEAR-OLD. If you offer Azure for Students, why the hell don’t the regions allow you to create free virtual machines? What the hell are those services even for?? screw all of you.

  @Azure @Microsoft it must be a joke to pay $100 for support then still having to fill out this ****** form for EVERY SINGLE MODEL with 20 fields of the same IDs, names, data, email, etc and different ratios for TPM depending on the model. it can't be real? how does this pass product? is this a joke?

  @Microsoft @Azure we created a business support ticket more than 24 hours ago and no response and no agent assigned. This is unacceptable.

  @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.

  Azure says my subscription is disabled. Azure billing says I owe nothing. Support says… nothing. I’m a Microsoft MVP, and I’ve spent most of my morning chasing this billing black hole. 🫤 @Azure @AzureSupport @coolcsh #MVPBbuzz

  Donnie (@towndrunk) reported 25 minutes ago

  Had to contact support to transfer my @Azure grant. Support was super responsive! But now it won't let me apply the sponsor credits to my billing profile. Lol I'm trying to build @Copilot support agents for staff at the homeless shelter I work at. Pls fix.

  @__tosh @Azure I started with trying to fix my old account with the right data, etc., no success. Then tried creating a brand new subscription. And it just fails randomly.

  Who 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

  @livingdevops the @azure firewall is a rip off, an absolute piss take of a service offering. if you dont want their fancy UI then a VM self hosted firewall does the trick for $5 a month

  @Azure is the crappiest software on earth, you never use it because it sucks then if you have to use it you get a message that your tenant was deactivated due to inactivity and there is nothing you can do about it #Microsoft #Azure

  @Azure : Remove this insanity of #AuthenticatorApp! I created a new biz account for some emailing, put the debit card, then the login forces to setup that stupid app, but I don't own a smartphone (and won't borrow anyone's). I tried to call support but got disconnected, calling again leads nowhere. At this point I could not even cancel the membership because I cannot login... Madness! Just let the customer decides what they want as 2FA!!! They know better, you control-freaks. So what am I supposed to do at this point? Cannot login, cannot setup auth app, cannot even cancel because cannot login, cannot open a case online because cannot login, and no "Use another way" option to skip this silly Auth-App setup, and no Desktop App either since I run exclusively on Linux.... Why so complicated??? Keep It Simple Stupid. @Microsoft @Outlook

  microsoft @Azure is the worst developer experience i've ever seen. from the tenant deletion (no recourse) to expired tokens, its like they are trying to keep people away from using it.

  @VisualStudio @Azure It is so impossible to figure out what it is, and stuck in a AI driven loop of AI support slop that I have no choice but to cancel the whole Azure account, and block at the bank level...

  @Azure is borderline nightmare trying to set up a batch job with simple docker image. OpenAI and Claude Opus both on max effort could not accurately help me. Gemini 3 worked well but here is the list of funny responses from Gemini: <thread>

  Damian Figiel (@DamianCTO) reported 57 minutes ago

  @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?

  @florianbador @Azure Login requires a phone you don't have. Cancellation requires login. Support tickets require login. Every exit goes through the same locked door.

  How Azure billed us $25,000 > Be me > run experiments across AWS, Google Cloud, and Azure > script terminates all instances across all cloud providers > Normal charges from AWS and GCP after instances are termianted > 12 days later, get a notification about a $25,000 bill from Azure > Thinking we got hacked > The Azure dashboard makes it IMPOSSIBLE to figure out *what exactly* was incurring charges. Just a bunch of generic cost break-down > Finally figure things out and delete all resources in the resource group that was previously turned off > Somehow, half the instances were off but not "deallocated" and half were both off and deallocated (but the script used the same command for all instance terminations??) > Ask Azure to dispute charges because this makes no sense > Azure closes ticket without a resolution??? > Reopen ticket > Azure: Sorry, we understand, but nothing we can do > ?????????????????????? @Azure @Microsoft this literally rips apart our research funding and limits our future projects. This is the most messed up way to bill off of weird policies like this
