Cannot add attachments to Approvals in Teams.

Question

Can send approval request with no attachments but when one is added it fails. "Something went wrong, try again later". I reported it to Microsoft in the admin portal but the reply was no issue found. I have 2 office365 domains and both are acting the same inside and outside their networks. Incognito mode doesn't work, browser or desktop app both fail. Sending approval inside a chat also fails. Reinstalled Teams.

Issue started Monday morning. Has something changed on the license side perhaps?

Hi everyone! Same here. I tried all the methods but nothing. The strange is the message is without error code. Only "something went wrong. wait a bit then try again" !!!!
