Microsoft in major Outage
Yes, Microsoft is currently experiencing a major global outage across Australia that specifically includes Microsoft To Do. Issues began spiking early on Friday, November 13, 2026. Microsoft has explicitly listed Microsoft To Do among the impacted Microsoft 365 services.
What Is Happening
- Cause of the outage. A large number of Microsoft servers dropped offline after failing automated health checks. This overwhelmed the remaining infrastructure and prevented users from connecting to web apps and mailboxes.
- Affected services. Alongside Microsoft To Do, the disruption is hitting Exchange Online (Outlook), Microsoft Teams, SharePoint Online, Microsoft Planner, and Copilot 365.
- Current recovery status. Microsoft engineers have begun a gradual recovery by restarting affected servers and shifting web traffic to alternate routes. Access to webpages may still be slow, intermittent, or completely unavailable while the fix rolls out broadly.
What You Should Do
- Avoid clearing browser data or resetting passwords. The issue is entirely on Microsoft's servers. You do not need to reset your password, clear your cache, or reinstall any apps while waiting for service to return.
- Check live status updates. You can monitor the ongoing recovery on the official Microsoft Service Health Status page or follow updates from @MSFT365Status on X. If you have a work or school account, an administrator can also view specific details under incident EX1550543 in the Microsoft 365 admin center.
