NEW YORK - Microsoft 365, Outlook and other platforms have been experiencing outages, the operator said Thursday.
Artificial intelligence developer Anthropic PBC's services have also been affected.
"We're aggressively pursuing all pathways to reduce impact," Microsoft Corp. said, adding that it is restarting affected servers.
The company said it had "determined the elevated load isn't driven by an increase in traffic, but by a number of servers being unexpectedly unavailable, straining the remaining infrastructure."
Around 100,000 reports of issues with Microsoft were received as of 2 p.m. Eastern Time, according to tracking service Downdetector.
