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.

    Here's an unexpected solution. Under Add Calendar on the left, simply add a new blank calendar to the same account. The existing calendar then starts working perfectly.

    I have the same issue - I am using New Outlook and it will not save calendar events on my laptop. It works fine on my iPAD.

    SAME situation here!! Was working just fine, but all the sudden starting around 11/6/24, I cannot save a new event or edit an existing one. Very frustrating...spent hours trying to find a solution, but now I see lots of people having same issue, so this must be a bug because nothing's changed and was working before. What happened? C'mon Microsoft! PLEASE FIX THIS!! Thank you!!

    I'm disappointed to see that this message I just starting getting today with no changes has been going on for over 6 months with no resolution. I get the message on Outlook on my desktop for editing existing or creating new items, but I don't get it on my phone calendar. This is wreaking havoc on my productivity.
