Can we expect the Office 365 eco system to come back to normal operations over the weekend?

    It's already showing pretty good progress.

    https://status.cloud.microsoft/m365/referrer=serviceStatusRedirect

    Current Status: We're seeing continued recovery progress across affected regions, with broader improvements now observed in North America and sustained improvements across much of Europe. We're also seeing encouraging recovery signals in Asia Pacific, although some users may continue to experience intermittent access issues or delayed email delivery as mitigation progresses across the remaining affected infrastructure.

     

    Our focus remains on stabilizing recovered infrastructure, completing mitigation in the remaining impacted areas, and reducing delayed email queues and backlogs. We're closely monitoring service consistency and validating recovery across different connection methods as we work toward full mitigation.

     

    At this time, we have no evidence of malicious activity associated with this incident. We will continue to treat this with urgency until full mitigation, and we will share a full Post-Incident Report with root cause and defense-in-depth actions after mitigation is complete.

    There is no confirmed universal restoration time for the current Microsoft 365 outage, so normal operation over the weekend cannot yet be guaranteed; recovery is progressing, but availability may return gradually by service, region, and tenant.^1^

    Track the authoritative status for your tenant

    1. Sign in to the Microsoft 365 admin center.
    2. Go to Health > Service health.
    3. Under Active issues Microsoft is working on, open the relevant incident.
    4. Review Status, User impact, Affected services, All updates, and any restoration estimate.
    5. Treat the incident as resolved only when its status changes to Service restored. “Restoring service” means recovery is still underway, while “Extended recovery” means restoration may take time to reach all affected systems.^2^

    Service health can be viewed by users assigned an appropriate administrative role, including Service Support admin or Helpdesk admin. If the admin center is inaccessible, use the public Microsoft service-status page:

    https://status.cloud.microsoft

    Administrators can also select Customize > Email in Service health to receive incident and status-change notifications.^2^

    Avoid changing tenant, mail, authentication, or client configurations while the same symptoms are listed as an active Microsoft incident. If your symptoms remain after Microsoft marks the incident Service restored, use Report an issue on the Service health page so Microsoft can correlate the problem with your tenant.^2^
