FIX: Xbox Live Purchase and Content usage

Many Xbox One users reported Purchase and Content Usage network error on their Xbox. Here’s how one user describes the problem on Microsoft Answers forums:

I need help. My network on my Xbox One is saying that my purchase and content usage is “experiencing issues.” However, when I go to the Xbox live status on the website, it said it has been down since June 22. This is a big issue for me since I put $40.00 USD into my account for a DLC.
If anyone knows how to fix this, please let me know.

2. Once your Xbox turns off, disconnect it from the power outlet.
3. Leave it like that for a minute or two.
4. Now connect the console to the power outlet and turn it back on again.
