Hi everyone,

We’ve run into a strange issue over the last couple of days and I’m trying to understand if anyone else has seen something similar.

Since Wednesday morning (around 8:00 AM), all new files that are being created in our SharePoint libraries are showing as "New" and that status never goes away, even after opening the file.

At the same time, our Power Automate flows started failing when using "Get file properties". The action returns empty for these files, even though they clearly exist (we can see them in the library and "Get files in folder" works fine).
- This started at the exact same time across multiple environments.
- We didn’t change anything in our flows or SharePoint setup.

- It is affecting all our Power Automate cloud flows across different environments (not just a single flow or solution).
- Files created before that moment still behave normally.
- Only new files are affected.

It feels like SharePoint is creating the file, but something is off with the associated item or metadata, because anything that depends on properties is not working.

Has anyone experienced something like this recently? Or is there any known issue around file creation / metadata in SharePoint Online?

Thanks in advance!
