Can no longer sync Outlook calendar on Android

I noticed a few days ago my Outlook calendar was no longer syncing on my phone. In the Outlook app I went into settings, selected my account and noticed 'Sync calendars' was off. I turned it back on and syncing resumed. However, that setting keeps getting turned off on its own, I can't keep calendar syncing enabled!

    I also have an s22 and experiencing the same issue. Multiple times a day I'm going in and re-syncing my calendars. Very heavy impact on my job since I'm a project manager and need to be up-to-date on my meetings. Plus I have a third-party software that interacts with my Google calendar by sending me alerts that is not able to do that.

    Yet another day where I get to update apps on my Android phone. Except that is, the Outlook for Android app. No recent updates means no fix for this problem.

    I am stuck at version 4.2307.4. This is the most recent version that does not - at least for me - exhibit this behavior where syncing to the Android calendar is disabled without user intervention.

    I am very thankful I do not have to use Outlook for Android for most of my email. However, my employer makes this app the only means by which I can get work-related email and access to my work calendar from my phone. And this syncing problem means I cannot reliably view my work calendar with the calendars for the rest of my life.

    My experience with Microsoft's competitors is far, far better. I use AquaMail for my email. Its feature set is far superior to Outlook for Android. HTML signatures, unique signatures for every account and email alias, flawless synchronization. . . an overall superior UX with much, much better customer support.

    My calendar solution is Calengoo, which I find has the best notification management of any calendar app running on Android. Again, great customer service, especially compared to Microsoft.

    What I wouldn't give to not have to use Outlook for Android.

    Same thing happening to me! I have to do it manually and in less than 24 hours the synchronization is disabled again. It is very annoying and it started only a couple of weeks ago, so I am assuming it has something to do with an update. It would be great that Microsoft team fix it

    Same issue her, no sync working any more.

    Earlier I could go into settings, and re-activate the sync, this do not work any more (the lever can not be switched on).

    Brgds.
