Apple's iCloud Service Experiencing Outage

My devices still have the update Apple ID settings issue. It signs in but like 5 minutes later it signs back out. Contacted Apple for more information.
Lucky you! ?Fortunately for me it won’t even allow me to log out of iCloud.
Thankfully after trying a reboot in Safe Mode, then briefly considering a reinstall, I've backed off from trying to unleash my "computer genius" on the problem and decided the best policy is to ignore it and wait for it to go away!
In the meantime I'm going to turn to lights of and rock in the corner for a while... ?
There will be, just internally, unless shareholders become unhappy. The public (us), not a chance, we are only customers.
All green, and a brief overview of issue.

No, it's still broken. The engineering team is calling me tomorrow. The green status bubbles are about as useful as green Android bubbles.All green, and a brief overview of issue.

As I type it’s still broken (long after Apple claims it was fixed), with my iPad and iPhone asking me to login to iCloud to access services. I can’t login.
At one point my iPhone did manage to login, but it logged me out again after Apple said the problem was fixed. I get tired of Apple saying stuff is fixed on their status page when problems still persist. This happens again and again and again.

Thank goodness for this forum, same problem here in UK this morning. Managed at least to log into iCloud web account to check that I could still access that.
Not good at all. Thankfully so far I haven't noticed any issues for me. I wonder if this is related to the issues that developers have been complaining about?
I'm the only one I know of with this problem - all my friends seem to be fine. But I woke up this morning and my HomePod started saying "there's something wrong with your iCloud settings, please check the home app". Of course, the Home app says everything's fine. In the meanwhile, both my iPad and iPhone started asking to repeat the password and then failing validation with "An unknown error occurred"...
It just simply sad.
They’ve integrated everything with iCloud. And broke it.
No explanation, no correct status report.
All the secure tokens on devices are broke, now I’m worrying about photos and keychain.
It’s not an environmental resource. It’s paid service.

You’d better not use Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure or Google services then. All these complex systems have occasional outages, and that is not going to stop just because they are being paid.
It‘s inconvenient, but that’s life. Try again later, things will probably be ok. It’s very unlikely that your photos or keychain will be lost.
If Apple wanted their services to be one of their tent poles, they better put more resources into their infrastructures.
This is what happens when the great resignation, shipping logjam, and omicron wave blasts through your data centers.
The best people left for greener pastures, the B team called out sick, and critical infrastructure isn’t just busted it’s unobtamnium.

Just another reminder that "the cloud" is simply "someone else's computer"
And those computers can break once in a while...

In other words iCloud's caught Covid and is isolating! ?
