Hello,

My Azure Batch Transcription jobs are not completing.

I am using the eastus location.

This started on 9/4/25.

Any suggestions?

    Hi William Johnston

    Thank you for the update. Since your job completed after changing the region, this confirms the issue was specific to the eastus region.

    The delay was caused by a network outage affecting undersea cables in the Red Sea. This impacted some of Azure’s internal routing, which caused jobs in that region to get stuck. By switching to a different region, your job was able to run through an unaffected network path and completed successfully.
