Was anyone else’s Outlook/365 completely down?

Just tried to check emails and got hit with the spinning wheel of doom. My calendar vanished, Teams won’t load, and even drafts are stuck in purgatory. Microsoft’s status page is all green checks, but Twitter’s exploding with complaints from Asia to North America.

Rumor has it the outage started after their ""optional"" new Outlook update rolled out last month (you know, the one that promised “smoother drafting” but apparently broke the internet instead). My productivity is now a nostalgic memory.
