Hi @JohnDoe Testing ,
Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum and thanks for reaching out.
Sorry for your experience. On 3/15/2021 - there was a wide Azure AD outage which has impacted multiple dependent services globally. I believe your issue could be related to that outage and hence you noticed unusual behavior.
For more details about this outage please refer to this history : Azure status history
If you ever has a doubt about any Azure outage, you can check the status in Azure Status page
In case if your issue still persists then please let us know, so that we can involve relevant team to take a deeper look.
We look forward to your confirmation.
