All of a sudden I'm being asked to subscribe to get Microsoft 365 but am sharing a family subscription with my husband. It says my subscription has been cancelled and directs me to the payment section. On his device it says i cannot be invited as I'm already sharing but i have lost the connection and can only view or print documents but not change or start new ones.. Can you help

    The same issue here in the Czech Republic.

    My wife’s Microsoft 365 subscription was suddenly deactivated. I tried removing and re-adding her account several times, but always got the same error, last one with trace ID: gvGqe9CONU28DBx0.35.189

    Unfortunately, the trace ID is useless, as Microsoft no longer provides traditional customer support.

    Our only hope seems to be that someone from Microsoft is monitoring this Community thread and will react once the issue gets enough traction (hundreds? thousands of users?).

    I am having the same issue.

    I am the sub user on the Microsoft 365 Family subscription.

    The main user's profile confirms the subscription is active and that it is currently being successfully shared with me.

    However when I try to use any Microsoft product (Word/Excel/Outlook/etc) it claims that my subscription has expired/been cancelled, that I need to renew my subscription etc.

    Any ideas on how to resolve

    Thanks
