Title: Users may be unable to view recent portions of their conversation history with Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat

User impact: Users may be unable to view recent portions of their conversation history with Copilot Chat.

More info: The affected conversations have not been deleted and are temporarily unavailable within conversation history.

Some reports indicate that this issue typically occurs when users with an active Copilot Chat leave and then reopen the chat.

Current status: Our secondary fix has completed across the affected regions, and we're continuing to apply targeted adjustments to address any peripheral errors resulting from the previously identified resource limitations. Meantime, we've observed a withstanding reduction in the errors related to inconsistent message routing, and we expect the impact to users is largely resolved at this time. We're reaching out to a sample of reporting users to seek validation that conversation history is displaying as expected and the impact is fully remediated.

Scope of impact: Some users are sporadically missing recent portions of their conversation history with Copilot Chat. This section may be updated as the investigation progresses.

Root cause: A latent request routing configuration issue is impacting users' ability to view recent portions of their conversation history with Copilot Chat.

User impact: Users may be unable to view recent portions of their conversation history with Copilot Chat.

More info: The affected conversations have not been deleted and are temporarily unavailable within conversation history.

Some reports indicate that this issue typically occurs when users with an active Copilot Chat leave and then reopen the chat.

Current status: Deployment of the secondary fix to the remaining regions is nearing completion, and we've observed a precipitous decrease in the errors related to inconsistent message routing, suggesting the impact is largely resolved. We're observing some instances wherein the incorrect routing information persists, so we're continuing our previously described workstream to clear the cached error responses and ensure new requests can use the corrected routing information.

In parallel, we're continuing to make targeted adjustments to address any peripheral errors resulting from the previously identified resource limitations within portions of the infrastructure supporting conversation history. This will help us ensure withstanding recovery.

After these actions are complete, we’ll closely monitor the service environment during peak business hours and reach out to a sample of reporting users to validate that conversation history is displaying as expected and the impact is fully remediated.

More info: The affected conversations have not been deleted and are temporarily unavailable within conversation history.

Some reports indicate that this issue typically occurs when users with an active Copilot Chat leave and then reopen the chat.

Current status: Our review of support cases and service telemetry has identified an issue with how some Copilot Chat requests are directed to our service infrastructure. Requests from the same user can intermittently be sent to different parts of our infrastructure, so a conversation may sometimes load an earlier version of its history that doesn't include the latest exchanges. We're working to determine why these requests aren't being consistently directed, so that we can develop a fix that ensures users always see their complete conversation history.
