Are Microsoft servers down today?

I can't access Microsoft servers in FS2020 today.  Anyone else seeing this?

I got shunted into an Xbox Game Bar update, (or something in the Xbox family). & it is taking a long time.

 I had this problem a few days ago, the morning after a Windows small update the evening before. I couldn't reach any server and couldn't see my avatar. Signing out and back into the sim brought the servers back.  FWIIW....

Connection has been unstable for me as well today. Perhaps because it’s weekend, heavier load on their servers?

And live weather seems to be stuck last few days...

FYI, I ended up changing my XBOX password and that resolved the issue.  Just thought I'd let everyone know in case they see this.  If no one is reporting down servers try changing your 'XBOX' account password tied to what you use with FS2020 as that might be the issue. Having to notification my password expired or something arbitrarily changed on the Azure servers complicates troubleshooting.  There's no reason my password suddenly today stopped working but that was the issue.  Knowing how authentication on various servers can be an issue depending on how Microsoft has these accounts setup one jump point can screw linking connections up throughout the Azure solution.  So changing the password synced everything back up again.  I wish I know what got broke in the chain.  Most of use have Microsoft accounts (356, etc) and XBOX accounts which are not the same.  Be aware of that when troubleshooting authentication issues.  When you loose the Microsoft store in FS and no servers are showing up for you to choose from try changing your password.
