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.

    Dear Microsoft,

    As a result of difficulties associated with switching from Mojang to Microsoft, you have finally convinced me to do something I should have years ago: abandoned Windows in favor of Linux.

    Goodbye, Microsoft. It was fun, for a while, but you overstayed your welcome and just became a bloated pain.

    You may have solved this issue already but I was able to access my account after having the same issue by deleting the Minecraft launcher, and then redownloading it while logged into my Microsoft account. If you play with mods you'll have to repair your installation after doing this but for most launchers that's just a single click of a button.
