Outlook Calendar on Mac Sync Issues with Apple calendar app

I have been having issues with syncing events between my Outlook calendar on Mac and my Apple calendar application (on my MacBook Pro) for the last couple of months. Before then, the syncing worked like a charm.

I've had many calls with the Apple support team and they got it working every single time but it stops syncing again after a few hours or at most a day.

Do you have any tips on what I may need to do to resolve this issue from the Outlook side of things?

An interesting fact is that my iPhone and my Outlook calendars are syncing perfectly fine. It's just the connection between my MacBook Pro and Outlook that doesn't work

I would so very much appreciate your insights and guidance.

Thank you!

    I think you may be confused a bit. The issue is not with the outlook application. It is with Apple Calendar app in MacOS with an Outlook account added. Calendars do not sync. When they do they do not for long. This is pretty basic functionality that works perfectly well on iOS.

    Same issue here.

    Used the solution to restart the macOs Calendar Agent and that seems to trigger the sync again.

    launchctl stop com.apple.CalendarAgent

launchctl start com.apple.CalendarAgent

    This solution works for me, but from what I've read it will stop syncing again after a few hours or days. This is a problem that seems to have been ongoing for many months. I just switched from Google to O365 and never had problems with Google calendar or Apple calendar, but am seeing this issue immediately with O365 calendar. Is this an MS bug or an Apple bug? Has anyone reported the issue formally to either?
