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.

    Ive been able to verify the launcher is bugged, I grabbed Tlauncher and added my Microsoft account and logged right in....... day 3 still says demo on my minecraft official launcher and no reply from support anyone else who has paid and cant log in you can grab launcher for now till Microsoft sorts themselves out if you can log in with Tlauncher using your MS credentials its not you its them. takes a few min to understand how to get your account in the launcher but works perfectly........ dare i say way better then whatever has happen to the official launcher over the last few months that makes it painful to even load

    I encountered the same problem yesterday night and there was no method to solve it at that time. But today morning I opened the new launcher again and it said it updated, and sure enough the problem solved and I can play just as usual! I guess Microsoft found out the bug and solved it.

    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.
