Is Microsoft Copilot Down Right Now?
No, Microsoft Copilot is not down right now. The AI assistant is responding normally on the web, in Windows, and inside Microsoft 365 apps. If Copilot will not answer you, the trouble is probably local or limited to your region rather than a global Microsoft Copilot outage.
But Copilot has suffered real outages. In December 2025, users across the UK and Europe suddenly found it unresponsive, with every prompt answered by “Sorry, I wasn’t able to respond to that.” Microsoft traced that incident to a traffic surge that overwhelmed its servers. The live Microsoft Copilot status chart at the top of this page shows current user reports.
Is Microsoft Copilot Down for Me or Everyone?
Ask Copilot a simple question in a different browser or on your phone. If it answers there, clear your cache or sign out and back in. If it fails everywhere and reports are climbing here, it is a Microsoft Copilot outage affecting many users at once.
Why Does Copilot Say “Sorry, I Wasn’t Able to Respond”?
That message is Copilot’s fallback when its servers cannot process your request. During the December 2025 outage, it appeared for almost every prompt across the UK and parts of Europe for hours. Microsoft confirmed the cause was unexpected demand that its systems could not scale to meet. When you see this message repeatedly, check the status chart here before troubleshooting your own setup.
Why Is Copilot Not Working in Microsoft 365?
Copilot features inside Word, Excel, Teams, and Outlook depend on the same backend as the standalone app. When that backend struggles, the 365 integrations are usually the first to degrade. Signing out of your Microsoft account and signing back in can refresh the connection. If your organization manages Copilot licenses centrally, an admin may need to check the service health dashboard.
Why Is Copilot Slow or Giving Bad Answers?
Slow or truncated replies often appear during partial outages, when the service is technically up but overloaded. Shorter prompts and fewer conversation turns reduce the load per request. If answers suddenly get worse across the board, it may follow a new deployment, as happened when Microsoft had to roll back a faulty Copilot update after thousands of failure reports.
Common Microsoft Copilot Problems and Fixes
Copilot Won’t Respond at All
Check the status chart here first. If reports are spiking, wait for Microsoft to fix it. If not, sign out and back in, and try a different browser.
“Sorry, I Wasn’t Able to Respond” Loop
This message means the servers are overloaded or down. Refresh after a few minutes. Persistent loops during a known outage will only clear once Microsoft restores service.
Copilot Missing in Microsoft 365 Apps
Confirm your license includes Copilot and that you are signed in with the right work account. Ask your IT admin to check the Microsoft 365 service health page.
Slow or Truncated Replies
Use shorter prompts and start a fresh conversation. Overloaded servers handle simple requests better than long threads during degraded periods.
Copilot Not Available in My Region
Some Copilot features roll out by region. A VPN can also confuse location checks. Turn it off and confirm your account region supports the feature you want.

Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do when Copilot stops in the middle of a long answer?
Long answers can be cut off when the response hits a length limit or the connection drops. Ask Copilot to continue from where it stopped, or split your request into smaller parts.
What was the Microsoft Copilot outage in December 2025?
On December 9, 2025, users across the UK and Europe found Copilot unresponsive for hours. Microsoft said an unexpected traffic surge overwhelmed its servers and added capacity to recover.
Why does Copilot keep saying it can’t respond?
That fallback message appears when Copilot’s servers cannot process requests, usually during an outage or overload. Wait and retry rather than rephrasing endlessly.
How do I get Copilot working again after it says I reached a limit?
Free use comes with limits on messages and image creation, and they refill over time. Waiting a while restores access, and a paid Microsoft 365 plan raises those limits.
Why is Copilot not working in Teams or Word?
The Microsoft 365 integrations share Copilot’s backend, so they degrade together. Sign out and back in, and check with your IT admin about license and service health.
Does Copilot remember everything I said earlier in a chat?
No. Copilot only tracks a limited amount of your current conversation, so early details fall away in long chats. Repeat the key facts when you ask a follow-up question.
