Reachability by region

Each region runs its own request from a different part of the world. A service can be up for one continent and down for another, which is usually the first sign of a routing or CDN problem.

What Bing does

Bing is Microsoft's search engine and the second-largest search engine worldwide. It powers search results for multiple platforms including Yahoo, DuckDuckGo (partially), and Microsoft's Copilot AI assistant. Bing also provides image search, video search, maps, and the Bing Ads platform for advertisers.

What an outage looks like

When Bing is down, search queries return error pages or no results. Bing-powered search in Windows Start Menu and Microsoft Edge's address bar may stop working. Microsoft Copilot and Bing Chat AI features may become unavailable. Bing Ads campaigns stop serving, and Bing Maps may fail to load.

What to do about it

Switch to an alternative search engine like Google or DuckDuckGo while Bing is down. If Windows Search is affected, you can still search for files locally using File Explorer. For Bing Ads advertisers, campaigns will resume automatically when the service recovers, and you won't be charged for the downtime.

Is it down for everyone, or just you?

If this page says Bing is up but it is not loading for you, the problem is between you and them. Run a check against any URL from up to 17 cities across three regions to find out where it breaks.

Bing outage FAQ

Does a Bing outage affect Windows Search?
Yes, Windows 10 and 11 integrate Bing into the Start Menu search. When Bing is down, web results in Windows Search will fail, but local file and app search continues to work normally. You can disable web search in Windows Settings if the errors are distracting.
Are Microsoft Copilot and Bing Chat affected by Bing outages?
Microsoft Copilot relies on Bing's search infrastructure for grounding its responses with current information. During a Bing outage, Copilot may provide degraded results or be completely unavailable depending on the nature of the incident.
Does DuckDuckGo go down when Bing goes down?
DuckDuckGo uses Bing as one of its search result sources but also has its own crawlers and other data sources. A Bing outage may degrade DuckDuckGo's results but typically doesn't take it fully offline. DuckDuckGo maintains enough independent infrastructure to continue operating.
Will my Bing Ads budget be affected during an outage?
No, you are not charged for ad impressions or clicks that don't occur. Your daily budget will not be consumed during the outage period. Once Bing recovers, your campaigns will resume automatically with the remaining daily budget.

How we measure this

  • We request Bing's public endpoint every 30 minutes from Fly.io regions across six continents — the most recent check ran from 17 of them.
  • A region counts as down only when it gets no usable HTTP response. A 403 or 429 means the origin answered and refused us, which we report as blocked, never as an outage.
  • A single failing region is treated as probe noise. We only change the verdict when two consecutive cycles agree.
  • Response times average only the regions that actually served the page, so a timeout never inflates the number.
  • Where Bing publishes an official status feed we read it too. An all-clear from the vendor can soften an unconfirmed degradation; a vendor-declared outage only worsens our verdict when our own checks corroborate it.
