Potentially impacted services include: - Exchange Online - Microsoft Teams - SharePoint Online - Microsoft Copilot 365 - Microsoft Defender XDR - Microsoft Planner - Microsoft To Do - Microsoft Intune - Microsoft Defender for Office 365 - Microsoft Purview: Multiple Purview services including Authorization, Auto Labelling, Data Loss Prevention (DLP), Communication Compliance, and Data Classification are impacted. - Power BI: All users may intermittently be unable to export reports with MIP sensitivity labels to PDF in Power BI. - Microsoft 365 Apps Admin Center: Multiple services including Cloud Update, Cloud Policy, and Inventory. - Universal Print: Users may encounter errors submitting print jobs or using admin features.
Current status: We've begun returning a portion of the affected servers to service, and they're remaining stable so far. We’ve also shifted traffic and connections to alternative pathways wherever possible and have observed limited recovery in some regions.
We've streamlined our recovery process to expedite returning the remaining affected servers to service. To further support recovery, we're implementing protective traffic management measures in a specific location to reduce load on the affected infrastructure, and we'll expand these measures to additional locations if we observe positive results. As capacity is restored, users may experience a gradual recovery as their clients reconnect to the service.

Current status: We’re continuing to pursue all available pathways to restore service, as our actions taken thus far have not provided the anticipated relief. Our investigation has found that a core process on the affected servers is becoming overwhelmed, which causes the servers to stop responding and contributes to the capacity loss.
To validate a potential recovery approach, we're fully isolating a portion of our service infrastructure, restarting the affected components, and gradually reintroducing traffic to confirm our services remain stable before applying this approach more broadly. We're also analyzing traffic patterns across our entire service infrastructure and evaluating whether isolating traffic within each region may allow affected regions to recover independently.

Investigating
Please be aware of a service incident at Microsoft impacting their Microsoft 365 services. We will update this status when Microsoft have provided new updates, or you can follow their status page via the link below.
Potentially impacted services include: - Exchange Online - Microsoft Teams - SharePoint Online - Microsoft Copilot 365 - Microsoft Defender XDR - Microsoft Planner - Microsoft To Do - Microsoft Purview: Multiple Purview services including Authorization, Auto Labelling, Data Loss Prevention (DLP), Communication Compliance, and Data Classification are impacted.
Microsoft current status: We've validated an alternative health check method on a subset of affected infrastructure, which allowed the servers in that subset to successfully return to service, and we're now applying this change more broadly. We're also preparing an automated recovery process to continually detect and restart unresponsive servers, to help keep them in service while this change progresses. Additionally, our review of recent changes has identified a small number of configuration updates that we're investigating as potential contributors to the issue.
Scope of impact: This issue may affect users attempting to access the affected Microsoft 365 services.
