    What time is the issue supposed to be fixed by? It is now 11:11 US Central time, which seems to be past the anticipated UTC time. Please advise. Thank you!

    I have been trying for three hours - changed passwords - did everything the on-line support says but have just found this forum. How long before the issue is resolved please ?

    Hi Sumit,

    My email is not working either and it is my primary outlook one, which is quite a problem.

    How long should I wait until I try signing in again?

    Thanks,

    Isabella.
