Microsoft Copilot Uptime History

Daily uptime recorded by PulsAPI over the last 90 days, with the days that carried a Microsoft Copilot incident marked. Each day is measured from our own checks, so the record continues even when the vendor publishes nothing.

What to Do When Microsoft Copilot Is Down

Copilot spans several surfaces that fail independently: Copilot in Microsoft 365 apps, Copilot Chat on the web, GitHub Copilot in an editor, and Copilot in Windows. They share branding, not infrastructure. 'Is Copilot down' almost always means one of these specifically, and the answer for one says little about the others.

The most common failure is not an outage but an authentication or licensing edge: Copilot silently disappearing from an Office ribbon is usually a licence assignment or tenant policy change rather than a service problem. If it vanished for one user and not the team, look at the tenant before the status page.

For genuine service problems, note that Copilot depends on the underlying Microsoft 365 service being healthy. An Exchange or SharePoint incident degrades Copilot features that read from them, and it will present as Copilot being broken rather than as an Exchange incident.

Microsoft Copilot Status Page vs PulsAPI

Microsoft reports service health primarily inside the Microsoft 365 admin center, which is tenant-scoped and requires an admin sign-in. That is genuinely useful, and it is unavailable to most of the people asking whether Copilot is down, including every developer without admin rights on their own tenant.

PulsAPI checks the publicly observable surface from outside, without a tenant, and keeps the record. It will not see a tenant-scoped advisory, and it will see an outage that has not been posted yet.

Microsoft Copilot Status FAQ

Is Microsoft Copilot down right now?

The verdict at the top of this page comes from the latest poll of the official Microsoft Copilot status feed and refreshes automatically, so you are not looking at a stale cached answer. PulsAPI re-checks a vendor every 60 seconds whenever it is not fully operational, or has changed status in the last 30 minutes, so an incident is always on the fastest cadence. Vendors that are stable and rarely watched are re-checked every 5 to 20 minutes instead.

What should I do if Microsoft Copilot is not working?

Check the component list on this page first to see if your failure matches a known outage. If it does, you can report the issue for other engineers, follow the incident timeline for vendor updates, and run any fallback your app supports until Microsoft Copilot recovers.

How do I check Microsoft Copilot uptime history?

PulsAPI tracks Microsoft Copilot uptime over 30, 60, and 90-day rolling windows. The current 30-day uptime is 100.00%. The 90-day uptime strip on this page is public: no account needed. A free account adds alerts whenever Microsoft Copilot changes state, plus 15 days of incident detail; Pro extends that to 90 days and Business to 13 months.

How fast does PulsAPI detect Microsoft Copilot outages?

PulsAPI reads the official Microsoft Copilot status page. PulsAPI re-checks a vendor every 60 seconds whenever it is not fully operational, or has changed status in the last 30 minutes, so an incident is always on the fastest cadence. Vendors that are stable and rarely watched are re-checked every 5 to 20 minutes instead. Alerts reach Slack, Discord, Microsoft Teams, PagerDuty, or email within seconds of detection.

Does PulsAPI track individual Microsoft Copilot components?

Yes. PulsAPI monitors 1 individual Microsoft Copilot component, so you can see which service or region is affected instead of a generic "service degraded" banner.

Can I get alerts when Microsoft Copilot goes down?

Yes. Create a free account and subscribe to Microsoft Copilot: the free plan covers three services with unlimited email alerts and no monthly notification cap. Paid plans lift the monitor limit entirely (Pro and above do not meter how many vendors you watch) and route the same alerts into Slack, Discord, Microsoft Teams, PagerDuty and webhooks.

How do I report an issue with Microsoft Copilot to the community?

Click "Report an issue" at the top of this page, pick the issue type and severity, and optionally add your region and a short note. Reports are anonymous and help other engineers spot Microsoft Copilot problems early. Official status pages often lag real incidents by 10 to 20 minutes.

Is there a free way to monitor Microsoft Copilot?

Yes. The free plan covers 3 monitored services with unlimited email alerts, permanently, so Microsoft Copilot plus two more costs nothing. Every new account also opens with a 30-day Business trial (unlimited monitors, Slack alerts, SLA reporting) with no credit card.
