Microsoft throttles some Office 365 services to continue to meet demand
Found on ZD Net on Tuesday, 24 March 2020
On March 16, Microsoft posted to Microsoft 365/Office 365 admin dashboardds a warning about "temporary feature adjustments" that it might take. That warning told customers that Microsoft was "making temporary adjustments to select non-essential capabilities."
Microsoft officials said they will continue to apprise customers of further restrictions and tweaks they will be making to their services to continue to meet demand.
In other words, "the cloud" does not scale as well as marketing always promised.
