Microsoft 365 service disruption - November 12, 2026

Latest Microsoft update: 3:57 AM CST, November 13. Status checked: 4:36 AM CST, November 13.

Microsoft reports incremental improvement in several Microsoft 365 services, but performance remains inconsistent and capacity has not returned to normal. Outlook/email and other affected services may still be unavailable or intermittent. Microsoft has extended the email timeout window to 48 hours to help preserve delayed messages while it works through the backlog. This is not a guarantee that every message will arrive. Microsoft has not announced full restoration or a confirmed restoration time.

We know this disruption affects your work, and we appreciate your patience.
