Known error signatures

Common failure patterns and how to diagnose them

Provider details

Microsoft's managed OpenAI models on Azure. Enterprise SLAs, data residency, private endpoints. Separate infrastructure from direct OpenAI.

What we monitor

Azure OpenAI API — Model inference API (per-region)

Azure OpenAI Studio — Studio and playground

PTU Endpoints — Provisioned throughput unit endpoints

Operator notes

Azure OpenAI is the key fallback for direct OpenAI users and vice versa — most production teams should have both provisioned.
Regional — check specific region health before declaring a global outage.

Fallback alternatives

What to use if this service is down

Azure OpenAI is degraded

Direct OpenAI API can reduce downtime with a base URL swap; Anthropic API or Google Gemini for alternate models

Easy switch

How we monitor

downforai.com probes each AI service every 2–5 minutes from multiple independent locations. We measure HTTP response codes, latency (p50 & p95), and endpoint availability across the surfaces listed above. Status is classified as Operational, Degraded, or Outage based on a weighted combination of probe results. Uptime is calculated over 30-minute buckets and the last 24 hours. User reports are factored into our diagnosis as a secondary signal. We are independent of all providers listed and receive no compensation to report any particular status.
