Unable to access the portal and any hit to SSO for other corporate accesses is also broken. Seems like there's something wrong in their Identity services.

Azure portal currently mostly not working (UK)... Downdetector reporting various Microsoft linked services are out (Minecraft, Microsoft 365, Xbox...)
