Suddenly "Couldn't download the file" appearing using form control to download

Hello everyone.
 
I have a weird one:
I have been using Form controls to download files from Dataverse for years without issue. Tonight, our users and me are receiving this error message when clicking on a file in the form control to download it. We haven't published a new version or changed anything surrounding this control. 
 
The loading dots still appear at the top as if its preparing to download, and then after a few seconds the control itself returns this error.
This is happening on multiple environments. 
I attempted to create a fresh canvas from scratch, adding a couple of form controls to test, and I am receiving the error. 
 
I have no idea why its suddenly top working. We had some changes to our DLP policy a few days ago, is there anything in DLP that might effect downloading a file from canvas form control? Very confused.
 
Many thanks

    Quick update:
    Very Likely not DLP related - I just tested in a separate environment/tenant/organization with the same error. 
    Downloaded Chrome incase it was an edge issue. Same error.

    Same problem here... some users reported it to me today.
     
    I'm going to open a ticket with Microsoft

    It seems that Microsoft implemented a fix for this issue.
     
    My downloads are working again with no problems. Hope it works for you too!
