Initial indication was an expired SSL certificate dated Apr 27, however server cannot be stopped or restarted, and databases are unavailable in the portal (Failed to load PostgreSQL flexible server databases.)
Location East US 2, Availability zone 1

Have upgraded to Developer support, but there are no options to continue the help/support request except to come to this forum.

    Hi Richard Sleegers,
    Thanks for the update. It’s good to hear the server is now showing as “Ready” and the Database blade in the portal is loading correctly again.

    The SSL behavior suggests the certificate was likely renewed successfully, but the affected system may still be using an outdated CA bundle or cached certificate chain. Since one system connects successfully while another only works with SSL CA verification disabled, I’d recommend refreshing/updating the trusted CA certificates on the affected client and validating the current server certificate details independently.

    At this point, the service itself appears healthy, but please share the exact SSL error if the issue continues.
