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.
