We're investigating an issue impacting multiple Microsoft 365 services and features in the North America region. Further updates are expected as Microsoft works to fully resolve the incident and restore all affected services to normal operation. Microsoft confirmed the issue through its official Microsoft 365 Status channel, assigning it the incident ID MO1068615.
