Why is our published Outlook calendar showing as 1899 in our website

Our outlook calendar looks fine in outlook but the shared link (html) that we use on our website is showing the calendar as 1899. We have not made any changes to our website so can only assume Microsoft has made some kind of update that has caused this?. How do we rectify or get Microsoft to resolve the issue?

If you click on Today then that takes you to the view that users should be seeing but obviously our users will not know to do that (and why should they)

Just to add to this, if you copy the shared html link from outlook and paste into the browser, the issue is replicated without going via our website so the issue looks likely to be a Microsoft Outlook one?

    I have got it to work by doing 10 seconds update intervals of the Calendar link in the browser.

    Before we had 3 minutes and it seemed to forget the year when updating with that interval.

    Since we decreased to 10 seconds it has worked well again.

    Important to stress that I am updating the link with an add-on within the browser (Tab Auto Update)

    Before we closed down the browser and opened everything from scratch. That does not work with any interval.

    Hopefully Microsoft can fix this ASAP so we can skip workarounds.

    This worked for me, Can't guarantee it works for you.

    Anybody heard anything more on this, 7+ days seems a ridiculously long time for this issue to still be ongoing?

    We also faced the same issue for our shared calendar.

    Any updates so far on this topic from MS?

    I had the same issue this morning. I resolved it by launching the shared calendar link, clicked on "Today" on the calendar, and then copy/pasted the URL link over the existing shared link. Once I launched the updated URL, it lands on today's date.

    Seems to be an internal issue at Microsoft causing the bug though.

    I tried this. Clicking on "Today" did bring up the current month, but copying and pasting that URL still took me back to 1899
