I'm quite pessimistic tho, given this problem was known half a year ago.

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.

2021-11-21T02:12:39+00:00 I am facing the same problem. Although it shows that I logged in to my Microsoft Account (never created Mojang acc. before), I cannot connect to the minecraft services. The username shows player so it is not that I did not buy it, but it is something wrong with the connection to the server itself. It only allows me to play demo although I paid money for it.
