Many of my co-workers have been kicked out of outlook and unable to get back in. Is there an outage of some sort?

Bradley, Ron 0 Reputation points2026-11-12T18:53:28.4966667+00:00 Is this outage also affecting sign-in to your company domain network?
This was from an isolated user in Canada but maybe unrelated. -

Microsoft 365 Status
@MSFT365Status
1h
We determined the elevated load isn't driven by an increase in traffic, but by a number of servers being unexpectedly unavailable; straining the remaining infrastructure. We're working to safely return them to service. More info under EX1550543 and MO1550821 in the Microsoft 365 admin center, as well as status.cloud.microsoft if the admin center is not available to you.
Microsoft 365 Status
@MSFT365Status
1h
We're testing a configuration change to address a problem that's causing servers to fail automated health checks and become unavailable. In parallel, we've initiated a restart of all affected servers and are monitoring health as they return to service. More info under EX1550543 and MO1550821 in the Microsoft 365 admin center, as well as status.cloud.microsoft if the admin center is not available to you.

JB 0 Reputation points2026-11-12T23:40:56.74+00:00 Just adding to the outage complaints. Multiple users on reddit are reporting an outage from what appears to be all of the USA. I'm in Idaho, unable to sign on to my personal outlook account. Went to outlook.com and tried to sign in multiple times using chrome browser on my computer. I get an error message stating that outlook.com took too long to respond, and that the connection timed out. The last email I have on my outlook.com app on my phone is from November 12, 2026 at 1 AM mountain time. Everything cuts off directly after that.

Kevin Mack 0 Reputation points2026-11-12T23:06:03.35+00:00 been down since around noon and still can't access the rather expensive microsoft365 suite we pay for... I don't even host my email with outlook, it should just be referencing imap/pop3 setup... why would microsofts servers having issues stop my locally installed outlook from working for email hosted elsewhere? any update on when this is expected to be resolved?

2026-11-12T23:09:44.3+00:00 comment to add... I am able to login to my email through my webhost for our domain using the cpanel webmail client and it's working fine so I know the issue is entirely with outlook software. Further confirmed as a microsoft side issue by copilot simultaneously failing to function. OneNote appears to be functional, even synced successfully to another computer after updating pages. I do not use OneDrive or Teams, can't confirm their functionality.
