Microsoft outage drags on: servers re-crash under traffic, traffic types limited

Kyrannio · x · 2026-11-13

Microsoft's ongoing infrastructure outage remains unresolved. Per its official status update, servers returned to service initially stay healthy but can become unresponsive again once traffic resumes.

Mitigations: analyzing diagnostics with networking and platform experts; temporarily limiting which types of traffic can reach affected infrastructure in specific locations to isolate whether certain requests are triggering the failure and restore service incrementally; and rebuilding a subset of affected servers with a previous software configuration to validate whether that prevents the crashes, expanding if successful.
