microsoft planner is down

Microsoft Planner 356 is a great tool used by many, however, it seems that the service is currently unavailable worldwide.

The issue was reported about a few hours ago, and here’s what we know so far.

Microsoft Planner 356 is down, but Microsoft is already working on it

Users on Reddit reported that Microsoft Planner 365 is down for them and many in the comments confirmed this.

Microsoft has acknowledged the issue, and they are working on it.

The admin panel in Microsoft admin states that this is an incident and currently we have no additional information regarding the issue.

Users reported the following:

Update 1: Now getting a web error: Service Unavailable HTTP Error 503. The service is unavailable.

Update 2: Microsoft Support: The Planner is temporarily down. We have involved our engineering team on this, and they are working on it. The next update will be after 2 hours.

Although this is a major issue, Microsoft is aware of it, and they are working actively to fix it, so expect the service to be back in a few hours.

For some users, it’s working, for others, it’s not. However, Microsoft 365 Status hasn’t posted anything yet. We’ll update you as soon as we hear from them.

Is this another attack like the recent Midnight Blizzard attack? We’re keeping our eyes out for the latest information.
