A typical Monday issue arose when employees attempted to sign into Microsoft Outlook and encountered unexpected problems, resulting in error messages and involuntary signouts. On its official Microsoft service status page, the company confirmed a disruption affecting Microsoft 365 Business and Enterprise clients, advising them to check X for updates. The Microsoft 365 Status page on X noted login difficulties for some users.
A message alerted, “We’ve discovered some users may experience intermittent sign-in failures, including ‘too many requests’ errors, or unexpected signouts. We’re analyzing service telemetry further to identify any potential next steps and mitigation actions.” Additionally, DownDetector, which is owned by the same parent company as Mashable, reported a surge in error notifications beginning at around 5 a.m. ET on Monday, with majority pointing to login issues.
In January, Microsoft Outlook faced another outage. This is an ongoing story.
