Update - The M365 Admin Team, in collaboration with departmental IT teams, affected users, and Microsoft’s product group, continues to investigate this issue at the highest priority. Microsoft engineers have identified that a background calendar synchronization process is not functioning as expected and have engaged the development team for further review. Ongoing analysis and information sharing are helping narrow down contributing factors and improve service stability.
While the investigation continues, some observed behaviours may include, but are not limited to:
- Calendar invitations are taking several hours to sync or update.
- Some meeting invites are arriving without the “Accept on behalf of” option, limiting delegate functionality.
- In isolated cases, meetings are accepted on behalf of an executive, later disappearing from the executive’s calendar.
- Duplicate meeting invites are being generated automatically, including one marked as Draft and another showing “No location added” despite a meeting link being present.
Teams will continue gathering reports and working closely with Microsoft to restore consistent behaviour and prevent recurrence.
Further updates and an ETA will be provided as soon as they become available.

Update - We are actively working with Microsoft Premier Support to identify the cause and restore normal service.
In the meantime, please advise users that calendar updates may be delayed; however, the meeting should still appear within 1-3 hours.
