Hi,

 

All my excel/sharepoint flows seem to be having this issue, it has started like 10 hours ago:

Is it Power Automate issue or tenant based? I cant get past through it and create a new connection/refresh existing connection although the flows are running correctly.

I have the same question (0)

    Hi @v-litu-msft, ,

     

    I was able to create a new connection to create a new SP connection but although it says connected in the connection center it's still the same in my flows.

    I've logged out, tried Edge, Edge Beta, Edge Dev & Google chrome - same issue.

     

    Also, its not only SharePoint, its also Excel Online, Office 365 Connector,  Outlook, Approvals

    Hi @Anonymous,

     

    Ok, you could go to the connection center to create a new SharePoint connection:

    If it still not work, please log out your account and log in back to check it whether works.

    Or you could also try a different browser, Chrome or last version of Microsoft edge.

    Hi @Anonymous,

     

    Did you check the Internation connection in your home?

    There is a user has the same issue a few weeks ago, it is caused by his wifi:
