The M365 status page not loading reminds me of one of my favourite Simpsons jokes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Hz2uOSdV24

Yep my org as well.

It's funny how text-only niche forum that looks like it's running on RPi stuffed in someone's closet is routinely used to discuss active outages in multimillion/billion corps.

Maybe that's exactly why it's stable?

It took 30 seconds to open a "local" file in Word, and my Outlook email wasn't updating.

In other words, a day that ends in "y".

My company was recently acquired by a company that uses Office, so I'm using Microsoft products for the first time in 15 years. It's absolutely APPALLING how bad they are. I assumed they got fairly usable in the last 15 years, but it seems they've gone backwards.

For all my gripes about GSuite, ... I don't know how businesses can justify using software this bad.

I'm in a similar situation, using Microsoft again after 13+ years. Outlook and teams I expected to be garbage, but Word and Excel was really surprising. I get it that everyone has that one feature of excel that is not available in gSuite so they need it. But UX in general is so much superior at Google it's baffling how they let it's workhorse fall behind so much.

GSuite was written from the start as an online collaborative platform.

O365 is Microsoft Office shoehorned into running in a web browser.

Azure communication services (ACS - transactional emails) also appears to be down. Quite amazing one thing can roll out and break so many Microsoft services at once.

> Current status: While validating the targeted change, we found that many of the affected servers have become unresponsive, which is preventing us from confirming whether the change is effective. We're restarting these servers so they can come back online with the change in place, and we're applying the same approach to additional affected portions of our infrastructure to validate the results more broadly.

I think it's safe to say, if the server is unresponsive, the change is not effective.

I’ve been there… 1 line YOLO update to resolve an outage but added a comma on the last row of a JSON object and now the server is crash-looping

In the words of an ancient ...I think newgrounds(?) video embedded in a SWF, "I can't get to my email" Edit: here it is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uRGljemfwUE

Hope this entertains you while we can't get to our emails.

Not sure they got the memo to host the status page in separate infrastructure...

That would probably cost money or increase complexity, so I'm sure the idea was shot down.

I heard they moved it over to GH Actions. </sarc>

For whatever reason 6.1 Sol is completely lobotomized for me this morning, so it wasn't helping much with the investigation, but it was pretty clear that MSFT was having issues.

I have a teams app with Outlook integration and received a bunch of 502s to smba.trafficmanager.net and a my logs are riddled with "RestError Temporary connection issue when contacting service. Please wait before retrying request"

I will say this, having apps deployed on Slack and Teams, Slack rarely has issues (an exponential backoff is enough to simply never worry about my Slack integration). With Teams I have mysterious failures to debug at least 2x a year - and they're often not very transparent about them (often my first instinct is to search Twitter and find people complaining about the same thing).
