Microsoft account won't connect to Minecraft services on Minecraft: Java Edition Launcher

Whenever I open the Minecraft launcher signed in as my Microsoft account which is my only account it will show me a message that says: "Oh no! Something went wrong, and we couldn't connect to Minecraft Services" and the Play button is replaced with a Play offline button but once I click that to play offline, it will say I need to make a profile even though I have a profile and have been playing the game until this error occurred. But once I click to create a profile, it will sign me into the Minecraft website and bring me to my account profile screen where it will give me the message: "Something went wrong... press reload to try again." and once I click reload, nothing changes. this error happened on Friday, May 28th.

    I gave it a try again last night while i was updating servers to 18.2 . still a no go. Im using t launcher (still uses Microsoft authentication) highly recommended workaround! takes a moment to put in your credentials. Since I"ve received no replies from support Xbox,Microsoft,Mojang I can only assume its a known issue and ill give it another go after the next version of the launcher is released. The fact that i can still authenticate with my new Microsoft login means either the launcher is bugged or there is some kind of xbox thing that im not doing .... but i really have mashed all the buttons i can find

    Same here. Im having trouble trying to play the game. Everytime i log into the launcher it just says "play demo". Then at the bottom it says "Oh no! Something went wrong, and we couldn't connect to Minecraft Services". I've tried logging out, closing it and logging back in again. Nothing works.
