To remediate this issue, we rolled back both offending changes and verified through service monitoring that this action successfully resolved the impact. Admins that have disabled EWS may continue to experience this issue and we recommend that admins re-enable EWS at this time. For additional guidance on managing Exchange Web Services, please refer to the following: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/exchange/client-developer/exchange-web-services/how-to-control-access-to-ews-in-exchange Scope of impact: Some users who are attempted to access custom add-ins through all Exchange Online connection methods may have been impacted.

This is the final update for the event.
