Motivated by the effect of the bumblebee eld on thermodynamic instability in (non)extended phase space, we study the thermodynamic instability for the bumblebee AdS black holes. For this purpose, rst, we evaluate the effect of the bumblebee eld (or Lorentz-violating parameter) on the event horizon for AdS black holes. Then, in non-extended phase space, we study the effect of the bumblebee eld on the heat capacity and the Helmholtz free energy to investigate the local and global thermal stability areas, respectively. Next, we extend our study on the extended phase space by seeking on stable area by using the heat capacity at constant pressure (𝐶𝑃 ). Finally, we evaluate the super-entropy black hole condition and indicate that the bumblebee AdS black holes are super-entropy black holes when 𝑙 > 0, which is consistent with the condition 𝐶𝑃 < 0.
