Microsoft cloud outage hits 15 hours, analyst predicts SLA breaches and 10 p.m. recovery
esrtweet · x · 2026-11-13
Microsoft's cloud services have been down for roughly 15 hours. The author applies a heuristic he outlined earlier: expect the outage to last another 15 hours, with service restored around 10 p.m.
He notes the estimate only shifts if Microsoft credibly claims a recovery path, backed by field reports of partial restoration. He argues the incident will almost certainly breach SLAs for many large customers, costing Microsoft real money and reputation damage, and jokes about tracking Linux install rates over the coming week.
