• If I try to delete a workflow it remains as is (It does not delete)
• I logged out and signed as a admin (Same issue)
• I logged into a other user profile on my pc and ran SPD (same issue)
• I cannot do anything with any 2013 workflow even existing ones that have not been changed
• SharePoint 2010 workflow work fine.

Look like something on the 365 server side. This just started today.

Can you help?

Thank you,

Just started getting the exact same thing last night.  I am provisioning sites using REST API.   This worked all day yesterday - no code change today, and yet I am getting this same error.         

I am also seeing this error now on the Site Workflows page:

"Some workflows may not be shown. We were unable to reach the workflow service. "

Opened a ticket with Microsoft   2:51PM  EST

I am on the phone with Microsoft now.  They are having issues from many users across the globe.  It is an issue with 2010 workflows.

Answer 5

The issue is NOT only related to 2010 workflows. I experience the same publish error with 2013 workflows.
