Scope of impact: Users who are attempting to perform file-related operations within various Microsoft 365 services may be impacted.

Root cause: A recent deployment for one of our file operation services resulted in an excessive amount of requests, causing the service to limit traffic, which then generated queues.

Next steps: Microsoft are reviewing their change management process to determine how to prevent similar issues from occurring in the future. They’re reviewing their internal alerting systems to more quickly detect and remediate similar future incidents prior to impact.
