Could it be potentially related to this?
That means the outage was either short-lived (doubtful, as it's not 9AM in Seattle yet, and Microsoft outages typically only start to get resolved around that time, weekdays only, mind you), or that... shockingly... it was DNS.
It's been like it since around 11am (UK Time, its now 2:53pm)
Meanwhile my pi continues serving what it needs to do unabated.
