Is this /really/ the status page? It looks like it was pasted straight out of an email to Jason Zander from whoever is trying to fix the problem. https://status.office365.com/ Title: Can't access Microsoft 365 services User Impact: Users may be unable to access multiple Microsoft 365 services. More info: Any Microsoft 365 service that leverages Azure Active Directory (AAD) authentication may be impacted by this issue…

Yes, that's pretty nice. A clear, concise, and accurate description of the problem, noting that the change is bring reverted.

Absolutely! It's more about the presentation.

"Title:" makes it look like a grade school book report.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

The ©2019 Microsoft Corporation is a nice touch. There isn't a date on this entire page!

Seriously!!! How about the "Add this page to your favorites" link? I guess the 365 target audience still hasn't learned how to bookmark. Anyways the Azure status page is a bit more grown up: https://status.azure.com/en-us/status

That button doesn't work in Chrome, which almost certainly means it doesn't even work in Microsoft's own browser (since Edge is Chromium-based now)

I'm using this to test for return of service: $loop = "loop" do {$response = $null; Start-Sleep -Seconds 5 try {$response = Invoke-WebRequest "https://login.microsoftonline.com/common/oauth2/" -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue | select status*} catch {Write-Host "Down $(get-date)"} finally {} if ($response) {Write-Host "OK" ($response).StatusCode (Get-Date)} } while ($loop -eq "loop")

Maybe they should have called it O364.

O365 makes sense if it's down all day, since this is a leap year, after all.

The exact-ish length of a year is 365.2422 days. 365 days a year is three nines of uptime (99.93369%).
