Looks like Azure is experiencing a major outage, but I cannot find anything about it.
If you look at downdetector.com you'll notice reported outages from OpenAI, Microsoft 365, XBox Live, Walmart, the list goes on.

#24Seems that way. Status page says we’re wrong though. https://status.openai.com/
Wish I could find where someone at AWS described in great detail why their status page was so useless for so long. It basically needed so many approvals to change it (which was disincentivized by SLAs) that issues were usually resolved first.
That’s setting aside when they hosted the status red/yellow/green indicator images on s3, so the surest sign that s3 was having issues was that the status indicators didn’t load at all.

You answered your own question!
“Boss, can I change this indicator from green to red?”
“How much will that cost us?”
“About a million dollars an hour.”
“No.”
