Microsoft is analyzing diagnostic data and monitoring recent service changes to resolve the problem.

“We’re furthering our investigation on the diagnostic data and monitoring recent service changes that may be contributing to the impact. We’ll provide a timeline of our next steps when one becomes available.”
