Office 365 and Teams Down

Has anyone been following the thread on X?

Seems to me like they still don't know what the underlying issue is, and that they've simply rerouted traffic around the issue in order to start restoring service.

Perhaps their Claude code token allotment for the month expired?

It does seem like they have no idea why its not working. All the jokes we make about MS engineers, they do have at least a handful of great people. Interesting they can't at least figure out what the actual issue is.
 
The issue really started when they migrated the initial exchange failure traffic off of a site and then overwhelmed the destination they put it at right? I think that's what I understood. I wonder if its like the tmobile and att outages of years past. An issue caused an interruption but the phones reconnecting overwhelmed the systems and caused cascade failures due to overload. They had to shut off traffic in bulk groups to allow for registrations and reconnects to occur and remain stable. Could be the same deal since they carry so much load.
 
Hilarious that just hours after Outlook and teams and everything is back that Workday goes down so can't clock out for lunch or clock out at the end of my shift today or submit my time. Then we couldn't get a shipment from the airport because some other issue going on up there where all the planes were grounded. My God everything is a shitshow this week.

Heard the flights were all grounded because they implemented AI a few days ago...

"Japan's Fax Machines Save the Day as Microsoft 365 Goes Down​

by DrUsmanSaleem Today, 20:12 Discuss (1 Comment)
When Microsoft 365 went down this week, a lot of offices in Japan simply went back to the fax machine, according to The Japan Times. The outage reached Japan in the early hours of November 13 local time and knocked out Outlook and other services. Mie Prefecture's government, where all 7,500 staff rely on Outlook, asked residents to contact it by phone or fax instead, and companies such as Chubu Electric Power and Brother Industries moved outside communication from email to phone calls. Credit card issuer Credit Saison warned of delays in answering inquiries, and universities including Kyushu and Waseda reported disruptions too.

The central government was also affected by the outage. Deputy Chief Cabinet Secretary Masanao Ozaki said the Government Solution Service (GSS), a shared network the Digital Agency oversees for government employees, lost access to Outlook and other Microsoft products, while Chief Cabinet Secretary Minoru Kihara said communications between ministries were disrupted. Staff apparently fell back on paper copies and phone calls to keep things moving. Ironically, Japan tried to phase faxes out of its ministries back in 2021, and bureaucrats pushed back hard, with some arguing faxes were more secure than email."
