This seems pretty bad. And what’s worse is that I am having issues connecting to the Microsoft 365 admin centre and opening the Service Health Status page. And I am not alone. The net result is that I can’t even tell you what the ETA to resolution is. That’s in stark contrast to the Office service health and the Microsoft 365 network health status pages currently showing no issues. Even though there are issues.

 I’ll be keeping an eye on this and updating this story as I get more information.

UPDATE: Microsoft has posted this on Twitter in response to a user complaining about the outage:

The outage seems to be centred in Europe, and this status page that the Tweet referenced indicates what Microsoft is admitting to. That more or less matches what I’m seeing on Down Detector. More updates as they come.
