Several Microsoft services appear to be down – what we know
Reports of the outage are beginning to drop as Microsoft restarts affected servers.
Microsoft is currently grappling with an outage affecting multiple 365 services including Outlook and Teams. This afternoon, the company reported that "elevated load" issues are impacting several of its platforms. The affected services listed are Exchange Online, Microsoft Teams, SharePoint Online, Microsoft Copilot 365, and Microsoft Defender XDR.
According to the status report, the problem is affecting the Business and Enterprise tiers of the 365 tools, but individual users are also experiencing connectivity errors. Microsoft is actively investigating the issue, restarting and repairing impacted infrastructure, and reviewing the unexpected increase in specific service traffic to determine if it's contributing to the elevated load.
In addition, the company is evaluating options to redirect traffic to alternate infrastructure to expedite relief.
