i noticed when i was working on a project makecode was acting strange, so i refreshed the page. but makecode wouldn’t load, it was stuck on the microsoft loading screen. so i opened a private window assuming it was a problem with my browser data, but it wasnt, instead of loading the makecode homescreen like it should, it just showed me this:

i checked later and i got this:

here is the browser log:

I had the same error! This was at school when I was using safari. Maybe our schools blocked a server?

I noticed this as well. It worked fine offline, when I turned off the internet it loaded very fast (from cached data) but with the internet on it wouldn’t stop loading. It got fixed a bit later though.

Hi all, thanks for reporting this.

Yesterday between the hours of 5-6pm Pacific time, we experienced an unplanned outage which took down all of our sites (Arcade, micro:bit, and Minecraft Edu). For some users, the local cache was working, so not everyone was impacted. The cause of this outage was a redis cache failure. We mobilized immediately to clear the cache and restore usage within an hour of the failure, and we’re creating a set of remediation actions going forward to help mitigate these types of outages.

It should be resolved now. If you see any more issues like this, please be sure to let us know!

This is great that it wasn’t my school, I was worried that they had blocked it for some reason
