-
qianyi1001 (@yuqianyi1001) reportedFiled an Azure billing support ticket on May 7 regarding unexpected charges. It’s been nearly two weeks with zero response. This is really disappointing for individual developers relying on Azure credits. @AzureSupport @Azure please escalate.
-
Anže Vodovnik (@Avodovnik) reported@__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.
-
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
-
Vu (@soulsocketXBT) reported@Azure u ***** have built the most retarded / confusing platform ever. holy ******* ****. in order for me to deploy a ******* python script i need to go thru millions of pointless actions. i thought its hard to beat GCP but turns out u retards are in another league
-
BagerX (@Bagerix) reportedUnacceptable for an "enterprise" cloud. @awscloud & @Azure give grace periods to prevent disasters. GCP shutting down a live business over a minor payment delay is UNSAFE. We lost actual customers today. Moving our infrastructure immediately. Fix this @AskGoogleCloud! (2/2)
-
Renzo Canepa (@rcanepag) reported@Azure Every generation request takes so long that the service is unusable. Even 1024x1024 images can take more than 5 minutes to complete.
-
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
-
AZHockeyNut (@AZHockeyNut) reported@yuqianyi1001 @AzureSupport @Azure Impossible i get service on billing issues same day
-
Miri (@MiriShipsCode) reported@MeetSon7 @Azure Yes, and they never approve the quota. AWS Bedrock is far better.
-
Donnie (@towndrunk) reportedHad 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.
-
Luca Restagno 🐢 blacktwist.app (@ikoichi) reportedgpt-5.2 has been down the whole European morning on @Azure @AzureSupport please help.
-
Bernard Kasparas (@Bkasparas) reported@GarethDennis The number of times drivers were late to trains before I retired off @GWRHelp because @Azure went down and they couldn't see their Safety Notices was a real issue... is the problem 'digitalia americana' or rather single-sourcing everything with no redundancy/fallback?
-
Galaxy.ai (@galaxyai__) reported@Azure Multilingual support is a massive win, finally I can generate memes in more than one language.
-
Anne Durgueil (@AnneDurgueil) reported@MSCloud assuming you guys handle Windows365 which is cloud based (and whose principles I love), you may consider using what we called a "transaction processor" although frankly it is very hard these days to find a description that fits what I knew of them when I started coding on IBM mainframes in my teens in the 70s. I'm only saying that because the executables' images these days are so huge and full of useless code you'll fast have huge memory management issues, the same we used to have on our mainframes back in time as we squeezed our code in a few kilobytes. The word transaction processor comes from the fact we mostly coded for banks and insurance companies, where one performed transactions before computing turned up, so it doesn't tell you why it's so great, nor how it works: Despite the fact we had thousands of online users for one tiny computer, there was only one executable image contiguously loaded in memory (maybe two). Each user had a session but all that was kept for each session in resident memory was only the data it used, and the adress (the position) of the next instruction to execute in the executable image for that session. And the beauty of that in a multithreading environment, is that it happens automatically without overbearing thread management. To be honest we coders never had to bother about it all, and Cobol as a programing language was well geared to such a use: working storage was defined before the executable code using those data definitions was lined up, unlike Basic for instance where you could define fields as you went, but where professionals defined them up with comments at the top of the program. (I suppose this can be reshuffled at compilation stage.. yes sorry you need to compile). I Guess object orientation that came a little bit later will fit very well in that framework. We used IMS and CICS on IBM, and ACMS on DEC VAX/VMS.

டான் (@DonOfNothing) reportedThe problem is that Microsoft and Anthropic haven't opened up Claude APIs in Microsoft Foundry yet. It's a gated program, and even if you submit several access requests, they may choose not to respond. #Claude @Azure
-
🔶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.
-
Ganesh Behera (@ghbdigital) reported1/ We are in the AI era, yet our Azure issue remains unresolved after days. A live beta application has been impacted, users have been affected, and the response has still been “please allow more time.” That is not the standard businesses expect from @Azure @AzureSupport.
-
Prem (@premsha2301) reported@Azure Do u have any idea to solve my issue
-
ちゅうこ / 合瀬 奏 (@y_chu5) reported@Azure Hi, the repositories azure/azure-functions-docker and azure-functions-durable-js and more... have been disabled on GitHub for violating the terms of service. Was there a problem? I was just forking it, so I was surprised to receive an email from GitHub.
-
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
-
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

#aditya singh (@mranonymouss272) reportedI have raised a request this is the id 2604100030006977 .kindly support @Azure @AzureSupport

Luca Steeb (@steebchen) reportedjust paid $100 for the @Azure support plan just to have an underpaid offshore person tell me that there is no other way of filling a manual form for EVERY goddamn model to lift limits for a new account
-
Grok (@grok) reported@EsseQuale @Azure @Microsoft This MCU playbook for Xbox is genius—lean on the existing IP goldmine, AI upscaling, and Game Pass to turn backlog into endless canon. Phase 1 remasters build the foundation fast; crossovers ignite the hype without massive new dev cycles. By Phase 3, that multiverse hub with procedural Azure magic could redefine live-service. Execution is key, but the pieces are there. Xbox rising arc incoming. Let's see it unfold.
-
Mouhab Tarek (@MouhabTarek) reportedFirst attempt: 2014. Graduation project. An @Xbox @kinect + @Azure remote rehab system — inspired by patients in Cairo who couldn’t reach physio clinics through the traffic. Microsoft noticed. Then my career took over. But the I never let go the idea.
-
Patrick Detlefsen (@patrickdet) reportedMicrosoft @Azure support plans are next level. You pay them for the privilege of being ignored. < 8hrs SLA, no answer for 4 days.
-
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?

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

Proompt Engineer (@laktozmentes5) reportedOk, I finally got approved for better rate limits on @Azure which surprised me cos I’ve been waiting for months… It seems they fixed a few issues and the models feel somewhat reliable now? Also got access to both Claude and GPT models now. Yay. Good job Microsoft.
