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.

    It's over a year since the original post and I am having the same problem. Is Microsoft never going to fix thier launcher?

    For me this is issue seems to be far worse

    It just doesn't work, I have been trying for hours still nothing.

    The api seems to not response at all of me, I can't even log into minecraft.net, Gives a error "OOPS, we couldn't validate your info, Please try again. For some reason using a Vpn fixes the issue both on launcher and website but I don't want to use a Vpn because I mainly play Hypixel which doesn't allow Vpns.

    Oh I got this error on bedrock edition once or twice try changing the password and logging in with the new password. Sometimes websites will require you (sometimes this is optional other times not.) to change your password every so often, so as I said try to reset the password then login with the new password and see what happens.

    mine will work , on RARE occasion , this nonsense really has been going on long enough , sometimes it will load and ask me to log into Microsoft, sometimes it just wont do anything , sometimes im able to get logged in but then it says offline only. i can log in EVERY single time on t launcher, anyone who says its illegal does not know what they are talking about. it verifies me via Microsoft then lets me log in . I am a non windows users , friends of mine are not having the same issue but they are on windows and always logged in to their Microsoft account , really hoping at some point they sort it out . i don't get a lot of free time to play and more often then not i spend 30 min trying to get the official launcher to do something and then don't have time or am so aggravated i just don't play. just seems too much like another instance of non windows users getting screwed
