Microsoft has advised that the issue is now fully resolved. Between 08:51 and 10:15 UTC on 01 April 2025, Microsoft identified customer impact resulting from a power event in the North Europe region which impacted Storage, CosmosDB, and various other resources which are not used in Document Drafter. Microsoft has confirmed that all affected services have now recovered. A power maintenance event led to temporary power loss in a single datacenter, in Physical Availability Zone 2, in the North Europe region affecting multiple racks and devices. Microsoft has advised that power has been fully restored and services are seeing full recovery. We will now evaluate internally as per our SOPs. We will not provide more information unless you request it.
