Impact Statement: Beginning at 00:15 UTC on 03 February 2026, customers utilizing Managed Identity for Azure resources may have encountered issues when trying to create, update, delete, or acquire tokens in the East US and West US regions. These errors impacted dependent services such as Azure Synapse Analytics, Azure Databricks, Azure Stream Analytics, Azure Kubernetes Service, Microsoft Copilot Studio, Azure Chaos Studio, Azure Database for PostgreSQL Flexible Servers, Azure Container Apps, and Azure AI Video Indexer. Please be aware that this is not an exhaustive list of affected services, and further updates will be provided as additional information is obtained.

Current Status: The underlying Managed Identity service has been stabilized, and key mitigation actions-including targeted service restarts and controlled traffic throttling-have been successfully applied.

As a result, most customer workloads are now recovering, and traffic is being safely and gradually ramped up to normal levels while we continue close monitoring. While core functionality has largely been restored, a small number of dependent workloads may still experience intermittent delays or retries as the environment continues to fully stabilize.

We will continue to actively monitor all dependent services and address any remaining tail issues.

The next update will be provided within 60 minutes, or as events warrant.
