It stopped working for me late last night and I’ve tried it a couple of times since and it’s still stuck on “Attempting to reconnect”. It’s probably been like this for me for over 12 hours”. Another user tweeted, “Lol #bingchat is down for me too now. It’s only unhinged if you lead it there but works great when guided by search as designed. Maybe we need an insider preview channel for Bing so only insiders can access it until it’s stable and limit it to searches for everyone else?”
