In a , Microsoft 365 noted a "degraded performance" with several of its services and features. Two hours later, it said it "applied mitigations and rerouted user requests to provide relief."

Microsoft addressed the problem in phases, first targeting the Asia-Pacific region, then expanding out to other regions. By 4:20 p.m., the tech company reported the "vast majority" of customers and services were "fully mitigated." The service disruption appeared to be resolved by around 5 p.m.
