Microsoft has not yet provided a clear timeline for when the Outlook, Teams, and other Microsoft 365 applications will return to normal, but the latest update released around 2 p.m. Indian Standard Time was the most proactive since the start of this outage.

Microsoft stated that the new traffic optimization measures have improved service stability and increased capacity. Currently, these measures are being rolled out to all affected areas to achieve a lasting recovery.

Enterprise users can track incident number MO1550821 in the Microsoft 365 Management Center; if the management center is inaccessible, they can also visit status.cloud.microsoft to check the status.

This interruption has now lasted for over 15 hours. Reports from Downdetector peaked around midnight Indian Standard Time, with more than 130,000 complaints recorded alone in the United States.

Consumer services, including Outlook.com, OneDrive, Teams, the web version of Office, and Copilot, are still experiencing performance declines, while Azure is running normally.

Microsoft stated that the issue began with multiple servers going offline unexpectedly, putting heavy pressure on the remaining infrastructure.

Users should also note that the planned update time is not equivalent to the promised recovery time.
