Microsoft 365 goes down as Azure outage stretches into fifth hour

Microsoft's 365 subscription services are down for some users, as the software titan also reports the Central US region of its Azure cloud is experiencing problems.
Azure's status page advises that since approximately 21:56 UTC on July 18 "a subset of customers may experience issues with multiple Azure services in the Central US region including failures with service management operations and connectivity or availability of services."
As of 01:19 UTC on the 19th, the issue remains unresolved – but Microsofties are aware of the problem and are working on it.
Microsoft 365 (the artist formerly known as Office 365) is also down, and its status page warns that customers may not be able to access SharePoint Online, OneDrive for Business, Teams, Intune, PowerBI, Microsoft Fabric, Microsoft Defender, and Viva Engage.

As of 01:30 UTC on July 19, the M365 status page advises "service availability is gradually returning to a healthy state following our traffic redirection efforts" and that Redmond has "identified a potential root cause that may have contributed to the impact. Our team is currently validating these findings and our mitigation strategy to ensure the issue is resolved as quickly as possible."
