So, an app I run that specifically tries to write to an iCloud calendar continued to fail this morning, -but resolved by deleting an app specific password on iCloud, and creating a new one for the app to use. Hopefully with a bit more stability going forward.
Got a tip for us?

Apple's iCloud Service Experiencing Outage

Yes!
Though on the plus side I did briefly go into the recovery menu and considered a reinstall... That could have been a world of pain with iCloud down! 🥴
Thankfully I checked here first! 🧐
Not working here in the UK (15:25 GMT), hasn't been working since last night for me.
MBP, iPhone and watch prompting me constantly to update my Apple info. MBP seems to be accepting it, although it's prompted me three times today (it seems to be when it locks itself) so I don't think it's sticking.
Getting a mixture of errors or extended progress wheels attempting to re-enter my Apple ID password on my phone. Have only tried it once on my watch because I have a long Apple password that I usually enter with 1Password, which is impossible to do on the watch (even using the iPhone to enter text, as prompted, doesn't let me paste it in). Sometimes the phone prompts me to enter my passcode, and tells me that it will "replace my iCloud security code" (or something). Usually it doesn't even get that far.
Reluctant to sign out of iCloud completely on my phone in case I can't get it back on again.
I'm a bit worried that Apple considers this to be fixed and we're left in limbo.

Definitely not all ok in the UK. I'm being prompted continually on most devices to login again

I'm also in London and suffering from this. From first thing this morning, devices keep asking for my Apple ID password. Sometimes they accept it, but ask again a few minutes later, sometimes it just hangs.
Yep, similar here. Stopped working around 10ish last night.
Definitely not going nuclear and signing out unless I can be sure of being able to sign in again. Just goes to show how reliant we all are on iCloud in the Apple ecosystem. This feels like a fairly catastrophic single point of failure around authentication.
I’m in Australia and the issue is still not fixed. It’s been going on all day if not longer…

Ah, thanks for the update. Weird that I’ve not seen any issues. #NoComplaints

All my devices are affected. Every 10 min the prompt to enter Apple ID password
The pings to update it on the watch really are quite obnoxious. They sound like text messages and are relentless. And as said if you have a complex password then I have no idea how you're supposed to enter it without losing your mind.
I'm praying that when this gets sorted out my watch will automatically pick up the re-authenticated state from another device.

Same here in GA, USA. Been happening since around 6pm Eastern last night. Apple's status page shows all as green, and that clearly is not the case. Typical Apple...
Tentatively I can say that I've been able to enter my password on my iPhone and watch (via iPhone - painful) and it seems like its accepted it, just now.. but I imagine it'll fall over again soon.
EDIT: Lol nope, still broken.

Apple finally acknowledged officially that it's still a problem.

Indeed. Very typical of the company.
If there is one thing I wish Apple would get to grips with it is their pathological inability to acknowledge problems.
"Problem? What problem? Can't you see it's fixed?"
It helps no one.

Still getting Apple ID Verification Enter the password for 'myappleid' in Settings message on my iPhone. It's weird that iPad accepted the password I entered and the message went away just minutes ago. I haven't checked my MacBook yet. It's 8:13am PST now.
Though weird that 'iCloud Account & Sign In', which seems to be at the centre of the issue, is still green.
