Update
7am et update from Microsoft.
Current status: We’re seeing encouraging recovery progress in Europe, with service availability and email delivery performance improving across a growing portion of affected Microsoft 365 infrastructure. Japan remains comparatively more stable, while North America is also improving; however, some users may still experience intermittent issues as recovery actions continue.
We're focused on addressing the remaining areas of disruption and improving service consistency across affected regions. Reducing email queues and backlogs remains a priority, and the extended 48-hour email timeout window remains in place to help protect delayed messages as delivery catches up.

Update from Microsoft:
We’re investigating an issue impacting multiple Microsoft 365 services and we’ve determined the affected infrastructure is experiencing elevated load across multiple regions, which is likely contributing to the connectivity errors. We’re restarting and repairing impacted portions of this infrastructure to restore capacity, and reviewing an unexpected increase in a specific type of service traffic to determine whether it’s contributing to the elevated load. In parallel, we’re evaluating options to redirect traffic to alternate infrastructure to expedite relief.
Microsoft is currently experiencing an outage affecting parts of the Microsoft 365 cloud environment. You may experience issues with applications such as Outlook, including delays in sending or receiving email.
We are monitoring Microsoft’s progress and will provide updates as more information becomes available or once the issue is resolved. Thank you for your patience.
