Microsoft outage took down Copilot, DuckDuckGo, and ChatGPT search features

微软中断导致 Copilot、DuckDuckGo 和 ChatGPT 搜索功能关闭

Search capabilities for ChatGPT, Copilot, DuckDuckGo, and other platforms stopped working on Thursday morning due to a Microsoft outage.The issues — which began around 3AM ET — appeared to be linked to Bing’s API and any service that relies upon it. While Microsoft’s own web search engine, Bing, was also seemingly affected, according to TechCrunch, it came back online eventually.

问题始于美国东部时间凌晨 3 点左右，似乎与 Bing 的 API 以及任何依赖该 API 的服务有关。据TechCrunch 报道，微软自己的网络搜索引擎 Bing 似乎也受到了影响，但最终它恢复了正常。由于微软中断，ChatGPT、Copilot、DuckDuckGo 和其他平台的搜索功能于周四早上停止运行。

By 11AM ET, OpenAI posted a note indicating the issue had been resolved, saying, “Between around 10:10 PM PT yesterday and 6:50 AM PT today, we experienced a partial outage affecting ChatGPT’s web-browsing capabilities due to Bing being unavailable.”

美国东部时间上午 11 点，OpenAI 发布了一条消息，表示问题已得到解决，并表示：“昨天太平洋时间晚上 10:10 到今天太平洋时间早上 6:50 左右，由于 Bing 不可用，我们遇到了部分中断，影响了 ChatGPT 的网页浏览功能。”

DuckDuckGo posted that “we’re coming back up” at around 10:30AM ET, and so did Ecosia, which is “the search engine that plants trees.” Just after noon, Microsoft’s 365 Status account on X posted a note saying, “We’re broadening our mitigation efforts following signs of partial recovery for https://copilot.microsoft.com and other features.”

美国东部时间上午10:30左右， DuckDuckGo发帖称“我们正在恢复”，Ecosia 也是如此，它是一个“植树搜索引擎”。中午刚过，微软 X 上的 365 Status 帐户发布了一条消息，称“我们正在扩大缓解措施，因为有迹象表明 https://copilot.microsoft.com 和其他功能已部分恢复。”

Other search engines like DuckDuckGo and Ecosia, which rely on Bing’s API, were unable to load search results during the outage. Microsoft’s Copilot also experienced similar issues, displaying a loading loop that prevented users from accessing the service. ChatGPT, which allows Plus subscribers to perform web searches, displayed an error message when users attempted to make a search inquiry.

其他依赖 Bing API 的搜索引擎（如 DuckDuckGo 和 Ecosia）在中断期间无法加载搜索结果。微软的 Copilot 也遇到了类似的问题，显示加载循环，导致用户无法访问服务。允许 Plus 订阅者执行网络搜索的 ChatGPT 在用户尝试进行搜索查询时显示了一条错误消息。
