🚨 THE OUTAGE RIPPLE: DOWNDETECTOR SHOWS HOW THE MICROSOFT OUTAGE SPREAD ACROSS THE INTERNET
Downdetector reports show spikes across 25 online services, most of them starting just before noon CT as the Microsoft 365 outage began.
Outlook reports peaked above 131,000 around 12:15 p.m. CT. They’ve dropped since but remain near 30,000 as of 7:50 p.m. CT, far above normal.
While reports for Teams, Copilot and Azure have cooled off, other services are still seeing problems. Xbox Network reports hit their highest level of the day after 6 p.m. CT, roughly 20 times normal, with users reporting server connection, login and game launch issues. Instagram, PlayStation and Archive of Our Own are also near their daily highs.
Microsoft is the only company to confirm an outage. Reports for other services may be knock-on effects, with users mistaking the source of the disruption.
In an update at 7:59 p.m. CT, Microsoft said it is seeing positive results from restarting affected servers and bringing them back online in isolated portions of its infrastructure. The company is monitoring those servers for stability and expects improved availability as the fix is expanded more broadly. There is still no confirmed root cause or timeline for full restoration.
Each line on the chart is scaled to that service’s own peak, showing when reports spiked rather than the total number of reports.

‼️ UPDATE: Microsoft 365 is still broken after more than 14 hours, and Europe is starting work with Outlook inboxes that won't open.
Microsoft says its servers are steadier since it patched an authentication and routing configuration component. It gives no time for a full fix.
Outlook, SharePoint, OneDrive and Copilot are down or badly hit, and Teams calendars fail. Intune and Defender, which IT teams use to manage and protect staff devices, are hit too.
Downdetector peaked at about 140,000 Outlook reports. The BBC counts at least 74 countries affected, from Australia's spy agency ASIO to courts in Singapore, Los Angeles and Texas.
Servers Microsoft brought back froze again once traffic hit them. It says this is not a cyberattack.
Early on, it said it had found no recent change linked to the outage. The Guardian reports it now suggests server configuration settings may be to blame.
