1. Check Microsoft’s Service Health

To determine if the error is due to a Microsoft service outage, visit the Service Health panel. If a Microsoft service is down, you must wait until it is fully restored.

2. Remove Excessive User Permissions

The error can also occur if a user has too many administrator roles assigned, which can cause endless browser redirects. You can correct this by removing some permissions. If you are not an admin, contact the admin managing your Microsoft 365 subscription and request the removal of all admin roles except for Global Administrator. If you are the Global Administrator, you can make these changes yourself.

3. Use Microsoft’s Diagnostics Tool
