Edits to Calendar Events can't be Saved

About a month ago, I started having an issue with saving edited calendar events on a shared calendar that I manage. When I go into an existing Event and edit information such as the date, time, title, or other information and hit "SEND", I get a pop-up saying, "Something went wrong", that "We couldn't save your calendar event. Waiting a bit might help. Keep your calendar event open to try again later." (image of this pop-up is attached).

I have tried to "resume editing", and of course, have waited with the event open, but it still won't save. It seems like this is an issue many others are experiencing as well. Solutions I have seen on other threads include turning off weather displays on the calendar, clearing your cache, and using the app instead of a browser. I have tried all of these things, but nothing has solved this problem. I manage many regular calendar events, and it is a huge hassle to have to delete an original event and replicate it over again from scratch when it only needs a small update, and everyone invited to the event sees the cancellations and re-invitations and becomes confused.

Are there any other solutions that might help? Any updates soon? Thank you.

    Someone at Microsoft needs to fix this ASAP. It's ruining my work schedule and I have spent hours trying to solve an issue with only temporary fixes working such as signing in and then out again. Now nothing is working at all, it is just completely broken on all of my work machines. It's a major bug and needs to be fixed now.

    Edit:

    A bunch of replies on the 8th (today) I see above also, I wonder if it's an outage or something???

    It was an issue prior, just not so bad until today where nothing works at all now, not even temporary fixes or work arounds.

    Very annoying. iPad and iPhone work fine luckily but NEW Outlook doesn't allow to create or edit calendar items.

    Hi All. Microsoft really don't seem to roll out bug fixes very quickly, just constant updates, which either seem to slow your pc down, or make things more complicated than previous updates. Since last night's Windows updates, the whole pc seems to running much slower than it was before them, to say nothing of this functionality within the calendar - very frustrating

    This is crazy. My new Outlook 365 has stopped adding calendar events. This has coincided with a full windows update. That may have caused this issue
