Update
Microsoft Update: Our mitigative actions haven't provided relief as expected, and a portion of infrastructure remains in an unhealthy state. We determined that some of the targeted server restarts did not succeed due to processing issues, which are under investigation. We’re currently focused on spreading traffic to healthy infrastructure, and we're seeing some recovery.

Update
Microsoft Update: We're continuing to reroute traffic to alternate infrastructure and have reinitiated targeted server restarts to ensure the fix takes effect as expected. We're monitoring to confirm the restarts proceed successfully. We don't yet have an estimated time to resolution; however, we'll provide one as soon as it becomes available.
